For those who dont know Pripyat = Where Chernobyl happened.. its the city the works of the power plant lived in some 50,000 b4 the incident. The whole city is abandoned and guarded preventing acccess due to obvious reasons. Its basicly one hella time capsule of 1986.

A lot of stuff about abandoned places here with some very cool pics. One of the best sides of the kind that I've seen. Check out other picture destinations - most of them in Poland, but also other countries.
