ski chernobyl

From Andy comes this link. Motorcycle enthusiast Elena packs up her camera and geiger counter and tours the abandoned areas surrounding Chernobyl. Most fascinating to me is the Pompeii-like, time-capsule nature of her hastily abandoned discoveries, such as the Soviet-era May Day posters that were being prepared and never used. Pure anthropological gold. This is truly stuff you'll not see anywhere else.

The navigation is inelegant; note that there's a nav bar at the bottom of each page.
