    Chernobyl is fascinating, and even going there is risky, but these photographs are awesome. Except the Ferris Wheel ones...those look like an enhanced version of the depiction in Call of Duty 4.

    HDR Photos looks cool but they make everything look fake. It is just too hard to believe it is real when we look at it completely different.

    Didn't we see a bunch of Chernobyl pictures a few months ago?

    @Christophe - that Elena of kiddofspeed.com was fake.

    Chernobyl, is such a fascinating place...and a great reminder of human mistakes.

    Chernobyl is a fascinating place, but a monument to our mistakes and a reminder of what could happen should something go horribly, horribly wrong.

    On an off note, I once had a cat with 7 toes on his front feet. His name was Chernobyl.

    I agree with Josh. Not a fan of HDR. And something purporting to be a travel journal should have unaltered photos.

    Great journal, but HDR stinks. It just doesn't make good-looking photos!

    The pictures and descriptions are phenomenal; to know there are people living there still (or again) is amazing; and to see a real, living and breathing chernocat walking around in that "Dead Zone" is unbelievably fantastic.
