I know there is always interest in this kind of thing here due to our love of all things PA. Enjoy! :)

I personally love the 2nd pic...it's the ultimate definition of an "abandoned city" for me.

Love 11... Surely an HDR photo?

Excellent pics. An utterly fascinating disaster.

A few years back there was a girl that toured that area on her motorcycle and took photos and posted them to the web. I was fascinated from the start with that whole concept. I've always been fascinated by Soviet artwork and propaganda from the cold war. But doubly so when you throw in an abandoned city that suffered a nuclear reactor meltdown. These photos are much better than all the other ones I've seen.
Thanks for posting these.

Wonder how much longer until people can return (in earnest)?

And a reminder of what radiation can do (this was supposed to be a puppy)...

So, just how safe is it to visit? I just don't wanna end up either glowing or unable to have kids.

The hell is that? I count to five limbs!

The other night there I watched "Threads" for the first time in years. It's a harsh reminder as to the reality and the insanity of nuclear warfare. "Nobody wins a nuclear war".

Creepy. Thanks man.
