Twenty Years After, Pripyat (part 8 of n)

Those pictures were taken inside Pripyat (also called Atomgrad) , a small town where 50000 inhabitants live before the Chernobyl accident.

Now, since nobody lives where, the town is slowing decaying, and is probably the most know landscape of the "area I".

Although the bus shown has had better days, it was our mean of transportation inside Pripyat.

Can you spot the sign on the building wall (by the street lamp)? "pripyat.com".

For more pictures of Pripyat, see my previous post:
