Up to one month after the hits the Japan coastline, these haunting images from Tohoku are a constant reminder of the force and power of nature. Ships are carried across land and deposited outside train stations and onto road and house, vehicles pile up in a mass grave of burnt out twisted metal and houses lay in ruins for as far as the eye can see.
