I'm glad you got to take a trip there. I've been fascinated by that place for a while. It's amazing how much of a time capsule it is. Everything's frozen in that moment, except for the slow effects of nature. Where else on the planet can we have an experience like that?
Well, hopefully nowhere else. Once is enough, for sure! But still, hauntingly beautiful photographs.
@winstonalden A time capsule is exactly what it is, the whole area has been very well preserved. Honestly I'm not sure if there is anywhere else on the planet quite comparable, the only place that comes to mind is Hiroshima, Japan but it is nothing like what you will see in Chernobyl, Ukraine. Truly unique place
I think it's doubly interesting because of the communist regime that was in place at the time of the disaster. The world that was preserved is so different than anything that exists today.
Looking at pictures of Fukushima (I think you meant that, not Hiroshima, right?) isn't quite the same because the culture that was brought to a halt there isn't different from how we live now.
