I found this incredible link today - of a student who revisted Chenobyl 17 years later - going for bike rides though a city become a ghost town over night.

Its almost eerie, its such a powerful view of what life after a nuclear holocaust is like:

Personally it brought back memories of a brilliant guy name Maurice I hired - he lost a leg to Cancer at Chenobyl - then gone on to lead an amazing life - I stand in awe of his achievements.

The website is mainly pictures with a few matter of fact rememberances that contrast the life of a child who has come back 17 years later to the community she group up in - a major city. And her and the town guard now are the only ones that walk the silent streets.

It is worth it! Thanks for sharing this, G-day, I'm going to recommend it to some friends. So many years later and still no chance of living there. <shaking head>

Here's a UK website about Chernobyl which gives some additional information but isn't nearly as powerful a requiem as that motorcycle ride through the area. It's hard to imagine living so close to that dead zone... having it be near enough to take a ride through yet so deserted & dangerous.

It is a gruel documentation. Remember it.
