Ghost Town...A motorcycle ride through Chernobyl's Dead Zone...

*snips*
the town kindergarden, they don't need my comments, they speak for themselves and tell the Ghost Town's story in a way that no words can. There are hundreds of little gas masks, a teachers diary and a last note saying that their walk on Saturday has been canceled due to some unforeseen contingency.




....she also rides through what's called Land of the Wolves...these pictures and her narative brought me to tears...the HELL all those poor people suffered... :cry:

1. I've seen her site before...
It's cool, extremely sad, but I think what she does is cool.
