    I found some very nice photographs of Chernobyl here. Very creepy if you ask me.

    The whole thing is extremely cool, in a saddening kind of way. I'd love to explore that place at some point before I die.

    Perhaps we should make it a Mapcore life goal. xD

    Yeah, that was my first thought when seeing the pictures. My personal favorite is this one...

    Was just reading Wikipedia:

    Quote

    Chernobyl remains inhabited by a small number of residents who decided to return to their homes after the accident, but the majority of the evacuated population now live in specially constructed towns such as Slavutich. Many animals have been introduced into the town to promote the growth and success of the ecosystem there; some of these appear to be flourishing in the radioactive environment, whilst others appear to be affected adversely.

    Yes, I can see where the inspiration for STALKER came from. :~

    I've read that there are actually guided tours into Chernobyl. I really want to go some day, would be awesome to spend a day there taking pictures and looking around.

    Yup, so amazingly cool yet terrifyingly awful at the same time

    There was this chick that drove in on a motorbike and took pictures which are probably the best I've seen on the net so far. These were really good too though, nice to see the area when the trees arent all brown and withered, made it look even more spooky

    How would they be a hoax? Unless there's some other abandoned city somewhere that I'm not aware of.

    How the hell is it a hoax, especially when you posted a link to a thread including identical pictures...

    Kidofspeed or whatever, thats a hoax, they didnt ride no bike, they walked around on a tour taking pictures. They were there, but the story isn't true.
