    Yeah,I had some ideas for nice photo scenes,will do that in MArch btw.I know that girl on the bike,not personally but she's working as a guide there as well as other Ukrainians living near there.How did you found that site ?I was searching for Chernobyl related sites but haven't notice this one:confused:

    Someone linked me to that site years ago before I went on a trip to Czarnobyl. It used be quite popular on StumbleUpon. Technically the photos are average but the story and journey really are fantastic. I flick through the story every few months, would love to do something similar in the future. More of Elena's work can be found on www.elenafilatova.com

    I hope you'll be able to get out there yourself! :)
