GHOST TOWN

A photo journey of a girl riding her motorcycle through the ghost towns around Chernobyl. These places are frozen in late April 1986 when they were evacuated after the meltdown. Family photos and other personal possesions, the city's decorations for the May 1st Labor Day parade, Communist messages, a carnival, a kindergarten classroom full of toys...all abandoned by those escaping the radiation. It will be upwards of 600 years before the area could be habitable again. The pictures are spooky, but being there must be downright frightening.
