2 and a half years after quake

SENDAI, Japan - Combination photos taken from a Kyodo News helicopter show the "miracle pine" in Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, on March 27, 2011 (L), soon after the March 11, 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake, and a restored pine at the same location about two and a half years later on Sept. 6, 2013 (R). The tree, which initially withstood the tsunami and later died, was reassembled for a monument after being dissected for anti-decay treatment.
