Chernobyl

 

A guy where I consult referred me to the web site of a person who traveled to Chernobyl on motorcycle and took pictures.

Ghost Town is a modern Pompeii. The Soviet era is preserved here - in the radiation, for 18 years.
It's a pretty interesting tour.

In light of North Korea's and Iran's latest accomplishments, I'd say it's important to remember the damage that nuclear materials can cause.

I'd like to add this . It's a photo essay I ran came across a couple years ago. It goes a bit more into the human side of Chernobyl. Be sure to click the "play" button after the initial narration.
