Prypyat.
This town existed only 16 yeas. It was built in 1970 especially for Chornobyl Atomic station, as a town where the service personnel would live. Now it's left by inmhabitants forever. The town is in the forest entirely. When staying there, you loose the sense of reality. As if yore just dreaming, then you'll wake up and back to reality.
But that is not a dream. This is true. Buildings lost forever among trees, toys left in the streets, or rather what remains of them.
Somehow I felt as if I was raving. It couldn't happen, it didn't have to happen.
Why?..... what did we do so terrible to be punished like that ?
When the incident happened, Prypyat calculated 50 000 inhabitants. They all were evacuated in 2 days.
On the picture there is a point of an entry to Prypyat. Grass is irradiating, we were not adviced to step on it
