Ghost Town's photographs

Hello everybody, these are my photographs.

I would like to know, is this strange interest? Or maybe other people like this? I travel and explore ghost town's, now for 12 years. Most are from old Soviet Union. I can make 3 posts of 12, is this spam? I am sorry, - in advance. I hope you like them, or share if you have your own.

 

And final -

 

Hi- those are great pics, they remind me of the pics from Chernobyl.

 

Thank You, very much.
Yes, it is. I visit Chernobyl, often.

 

Very nice. Why are these places empty and deteriorating?

 

those places are too radioactive because of an accident

he/she didn't mention these were strictly from chernobyl. Maybe all of them are.

 

Most here: from collapse of Soviet Union, no money. The worst from this I visit is Kadykchan, Magadan Oblast.

Some from Chernobyl disaster, 1986. City of Pripyat is now radioactive.

 

More pictures please---and of people too,if you take those also.

 

cool pics

 

Awesome pictures.

 

Thank You, people.

Yes, I will post about ghost Soviet village. Very spooky.







Even cemetery is now lost, very sad.

 

A very small part of this village size.

 

Hi Koryssa, those are amazing pictures !

Please know this is not considered spam at all - your art enriches the forums.

I've seen deserted russian places in Eastern Germany ... wondering if this is how many places will look like when civilization is gone, and before nature takes them back.

Thank you for sharing !

 

Great pictures :2thumbsup:








Hotwater

 

These are amazing.

 

really cool pics.

are you at all worried about radioactive exposure when you're in chernobyl?

 

Whew..almost spooky. Amazing pics, They transfered me , four -five times to my own imaginings.Thx for sharing.

 

Thank you, people for very kind words.

No. Even, I sleep, eat Dinner here, each time! The worst level I do remember, maybe, 1000x 'normal' radiation level. Some of the time is danger, but very rare, for example: Radiation pocket, hot particle, or toxic dust, inside the building. I have my Geiger-counter, and 2 times in the Dosimeter, radiation scan before I exit Chernobyl Zone. Here is my photograph, below, the scan.



Radiation pocket is controlled, also:



Chernobyl, not so dangerous. Dangerous, it is very much more close to my home, M56 Kolyma Highway (road of 1300 miles), no people for this far, extreme cold. We find many Ghost Cities here, however, be lost here, it is almost always death.

Final the place not to travel, so often: Chechnya. My friend, Izolda does live here. I have found human skull, bones, and mine-fields by abandoned buildings.
