The one-legged torii gate to the Shinto shrine at Sanno, Nagasaki. The gate was 800 metres from the epicentre and the blast destroyed one of the legs, leaving the rest of the gate standing. The photographer, then TX3350 Private Allan Clifford Chick, 2/40 Infantry Battalion, was in prisoner of war (POW) Camp 14 Nagasaki at the time of the blast.
