Clandestine at Chernobyl

At Chernobyl there are, It seems, a lot of clandestine people. Probably because it is ease to find abandoned - by sometimes workable - housing, and because plots of land for food cultivations are plenty and unused.

For the local farmers, I think, the perils of radiation are far fetch compared to the hardship of the daily live.

Myself, with a couple of colleagues, we have been inside this house (without external doors) - the sort of action I do not recommend because door less houses collect a lot of old (i.e. more radioactive) dust.

We found 2 very different rooms inside the house (see pictures). Also a picture of the same house from the outside where nice curtains could be seen.For privacy reasons I do NOT publish a aerial photo - or the coordinates - of this house.

now with satellite photos

I edited the previous posts and now, for most of the photos shot in Kiev and Chernobyl, I have links to satellite photos over the exact spot I photographed.
