Gillar denna också. Får lite Silent Hill-vibbar, även fast jag spelat ytterst lite silent hill o sett filmen ett par gånger.

Fortfarande i skolan här.

Tilläggas bör, för den intresserade så är bilderna sparsamt efterbehandlade. Obligatorisk skärpa och skvättar med kontrast har tillförts. Ibland beskurna samt i vissa fall lite annat plotter. Samtliga bilder är dock sanningsenliga.

Visiting,
sightseeing,
taking a look around.

I see, but did you have the dosimeter?

Yes, rented one. But most for "fun". We had a guide and I guess he wouldnt let us go near anything..."really bad".

Outside one of the buildings there was an appletree. With apples. Dont know why but I really really wanted to taste one. Luckily I came to my senses and didnt do it : |

The guides should be updated since radiation can change it positions. But it should be safe.

Only place that ukrainians avoid is the amusement park, since radiation levels are high there.

Haha really? Well, but I suppose it was beautiful trees...

I'm getting a garden of eden feeling here :P
"Eat the apple...or not eat the apple?"

I got the feeling that the highest level of radiation we saw was when we were on the outskirts of the Red Wood

Haha, but people did eat those apples before anyway, and I don't think it is that dangerous but for safety reasons it's for avoid.

The red forest got contaminated directly after the accident, and died. Have you been at the graveyard?

Aye the "orignial" red wood was dead right, but since then there are new vegetation and trees growing there and they are highly contaminated aswell.

Graveyard? There is a graveyard? (Well of course there is a graveyard). No didnt hear or see anything about it.
Damn that is a real tragic side about this accident.
I can only imagine scenarios were someone had past away recently and they had to evacuate the town without being able to visit the grave and such.

Well not sure if I wanted to take pictures of a deserted graveyard. Atleast not under these circumstance.


......Bah who am I kidding x (

I mean't the vehicle graveyard, where all the miliraty vehicles used by the liquidators.

There is a normal graveyard for sure, many of them around. And no one had time to go there, but the real problem is that they didn't tell the citizens to evacuate until 3 days after disaster...

Oh, No. Actually I belive the guide told us we could not visit the vehicle graveyard. For some reason. Cant remember though.

It is severe radiation levels there, that could be why. But the guides takes visitors to the amusement park, and that is not a very good idea either so it's a dilemma...

But radiation attracts to metal

Ye, so I've heard.
Dont know if you are familliar with Philip and Fredrik. A duo of two "fun-guys" who's making tv shows here in Sweden.
A few years ago they made a show called "Grattis Världen".
And they did visit Pripyat aswell.
Along with them they had a camera man called Pål Hollender. Some half-weird-art-guy who has made some controversial stuff.
Anyway; during their pripyat visit this Pål-guy (despite the guide's warnings) went inside a huge crane or something.

On their way out he didnt pass the scanners. Not sure how they solved the situation. If he had to be scrubbed or if they bribed their way out or.
Anyway I got the impression that metal and moist areas attracted the most radiation.

I think it is the crane they used to load ships at the Pripyat river.

What scanner are you talking about?

Some weird device you hade to pass when we went in for food in the employees cantina and when we left the area.
Place your palms at each side while you were standing on to plates aswell.

Ah, there it is:

not my picture :)

I see, but I didn't have to pass this. Possible because I was there with a friend of mine that's working at the power plant. (It's not in service but people still work there).

I think it's a radiation detector, not sure what happens if you fail the test? But I know one woman whose grandma is living in a town outside Pripyat (Can't remember) and she doesn't appear to have permission to leave.

Oh thats harsh : /
Imprisoned for a thing she didnt have anything to do with.

She told me that she don't care where she live, since she have lived in this town and house since childhood and I suppose she want's to live there. Shes very old anyway, and luckily Rumjana got out.

Who is this Rumjana, musth ave missed that.

It is not very important, but she have been trying to live in Chernobyl, hiding. Because of her grandma

I see :)

bewundernswert!
