Hi,

:+favlove: the news article here please news.deviantart.com/article/11…

As some of you may know Pripyat is an abandoned city in the north of Ukraine. It was abandoned due to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident of 26th of April 1986. And some areas still remain uninhabitable due to high radiation levels. A clear reminder how dangerous nuclear reactors are.

The disaster had "only" 56 direct deaths, but over 800,000 people suffered from radiation all over eastern and western Europe. People still lay down their lives cause of this.

I've been fascinated by this place ever since I first heard of it a couple of years ago. The idea of a town abandoned within hours, and still remained untouched after so many years astonishes me.

When you look at the photos you can see what they were doing on that day, on that moment. Pripyat is like a photo in that perspective. The city has been frozen in time since that exact date and time of 26th of April 1986 at 1.23 am local time. And it will probably be like that for a long time.

I am planning to go to the exclusion zone before I turn 30. Many have been there to capture the destruction and emptiness. But this is something I want to experience myself.

This brings me to the people who have already been there, I would like to show you some of the photos which are taken there to give you an impression of the place.

I hope you are intrigued by this feature.

Well written

we have a "ghost house" in our town, i took allot of photos there last year, sort of scary cause the stairs where not that stable. Easy to get hurt I guess, it used to be psychiatric institution. There was this strange room, someone wrote im not crazy like thousands of times! Energy there was painful.
