I thought some of you might find these pics interesting: the stark reality of nuclear power gone wrong... from an excursion to Pripyat, Ukraine last year.

The gas mask one is my personal favourite.

It always feels very recent to me, shocking though that they have still not finished the clean up. Great set of images.

me too... amazing to visit somewhere that has been truly "taken back" by nature.

Before the Ukraine "issues" you used to be able to do it reasonably cheaply with these guys.....
