Photographer Seiso Yamada, working for the Chugoku Shimbun newspaper, captured this photograph of the mushroom cloud a few minutes after the atomic bomb detonated. The image was taken shortly after 8:00 a.m. on August 6, 1945, from Mikumari Gorge in what is now Fuchū, Aki District, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.
