I don't understand the negativity of towards this thread.

Ok, I don't understand the title and would like to see more shots if available.

From my perspective it was a terrible tragedy and continues to be but from a photographic perspective it must be a fantastic example of urban decay, with time just frozen.

To the OP, be very interested in learning more about your trip and experiences. Please share with us.

RADIOPHOBIA

Is this only - a fear of radiation?
Perhaps rather - a fear of wars?
Perhaps - the dread of betrayal,
cowardice, stupidity, lawlessness?
The time has come to sort out
what is - radiophobia.
It is -
when those who've gone through the Chernobyl drama
refuse to submit
to the truth meted out by government ministers
("Here, you swallow exactly this much today!")
We will not be resigned
to falsified ciphers,
base thoughts,
however you brand us!
We don't wish - and don't you suggest it! -
to view the world through bureaucratic glasses!
We're too suspicious!
And, understand, we remember
each victim just like a brother!..
Now we look out at a fragile Earth
through the panes of abandoned buildings.
These glasses no longer deceive us! -
These glasses show us more clearly -
believe me -
the shrinking rivers,
poisoned forests,
children born not to survive...
Mighty uncles, what have you dished out
beyond bravado on television?
How marvelously the children have absorbed
radiation, once believed so hazardous!..
(It's adults who suffer radiophobia -
for kids is it still adaptation?)
What has become of the world
if the most humane of professions
has also turned bureaucratic?
Radiophobia
may you be omnipresent!
Not waiting until additional jolts,
new tragedies,
have transformed more thousands
who survived the inferno
into seers -
Radiophobia might cure
the world
of carelessness, satiety, greed,
bureaucratism and lack of spirituality,
so that we don't, through someone's good will
mutate into non-humankind.

Translated from the Russian by Leonid Levin and Elisavietta Ritchie

For anyone who's played the Stalker series of games the appeal of the area is easily understood. Perhaps a better and more coherent choice of words would have worked for the OP, along with a few photos.

Would also be interested in going there too, some of the photos are really haunting, it really is a harsh reminder of the dangers of nuclear power.

Could the OP please state the purpose of this thread. Or It will be locked i see nothing so far that requires it to be in the photography forum.

If the OP would like to elaborate on the original photo, & what he/she wishes to gain from the thread. Otherwise I will move it to the Off topic thread or lock it.
