Hiroshima to Hope

This is what I'm doing Sunday night. There are some pretty pictures on Flickr. I remember the_monkey_king posting about this last summer.

Ah, that's what I found because my original link led nowhere. It's still on the 6th, though:

From Hiroshima to Hope lantern floating
6:30 PM
Northwest shore of Green Lake, just south of the former Bathhouse Theatre
Free, Donations requested
Join us in this annual event to remember those who perished in the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombing sixty-one years ago. The family-oriented program will include Seattle Kokon Taiko members and other community performances and culminate with the Toro Nagashi ceremony conducted by a reverend of the Nichiren Buddhist Church and the floating of lanterns at dusk to honor the victims of war and other violence. Please come early to pick up a lantern and to help fold origami peace cranes. Co-sponsored by local community, church and peace organizations. Call (206) 623-5124 ext 114 to volunteer.

Thanks for the heads up!
