09.25Chernobyl 2008 in Pictures
Welcome!
For anyone who wants to skip to the photos, remember, any photo you can click on, zooming in. While zoomed in, you can click on “Full Size” link and see it in full size.
Do not forget, use Next Page/Previous Page on the bottom to see more
Update: I’ve promised updates for some time. At this point I really cannot say when, but stay tuned. Updated pictures will include the big dipper, a drive through red forest (couldn’t stay there long), more “illegal” shots of the power plant, and hopefully a page navigation mechanism if I can find a decent plugin to do that. If anyone has any suggestions, drop em in comments!
This site is all about my recent trip to Chernobyl exclusion zone. You will see more than just a photo of sarcophagus. You will see checkpoints, buildings where people still live and work. Meter readings will be explained, not just a number thrown in your face. I will do my best to explain every photo to the best of my knowledge, and I also welcome anyone who wishes to comment.
Not all photos will be of a zone. The road to zone, road signs, office where tour company gave us a little bit of history, explained safety, and (of course) charged us money.
The idea behind it is to share MY experiences, without any fake information, stock photos. Everything you see here, I photographed myself.
I am still working out kinks from the site, and things may change. Feel free to register and comment on any photos, I will do my best to answer any questions. If you experience problems, or need to e-mail me, feel free to contact me at admin@chernobyl2008.com

Yuiry,
Reviewed the pics. I guess I was REALLY REALLY BORED. I didn’t see many people in the pics. Shouldnt that be a reason enough not to go into town? Not to mention at one point the radioactive level reached 33 times the norm. I thought I knew you but everyday you seem to amuse me even more. Hope you are seeing a doctor about your third testicle. I know some underground chinese doctors, if you need a referral.

Hi
I was looking at your site after a story about hoildays to chernobyl. This may sound strange but I envy you. I would love to go there,not out of morbid curiosity but more to let the people know that were and still are effected know that they are not forgotten. In Australia we have a youth event were high school children put together an 8 minute dance preformance. I can be about anything and we did it on Chernobyl.it saddened me that the kids had no idea about the what happned therebut by the time we finished they did and learnt alot.
Thankyou fo the photos
