Atomograd (Chernobyl & Prypyat) - October 2012 - Day 1

Following on from my Atomograd (Chernobyl & Prypyat) on 35mm - October 2012 thread, I have finally started going through some of the digital pictures from my 2nd visit to the abandoned town of Prypyat.

Below are some of my favorite images from the first day, places I visited included:

- Reactor 4 -
- Prypyat School #3 -
- Swimming Pool Azure -
- Prypyat Communications Center -
- Prypyat Amusement Park -
- Prypyat Stadium -
- Chernobyl Svyato-Illinskiy Church -
- Firefighters Monument -
- 'Lost villages' Memorial Garden -
- Yanov Train Station -

Apologies for the number of photos, as you can probably understand, its just so hard to narrow down the shots!

Absolutely fantastic shots! Such different angles on well known shots.
So jealous that you stayed in Slavutich, I was going to visit there last time, but time just ran out.
Hats off to ya you should be well proud of that set :)
 
Stunning mate! Was your flat on the top floor by any chance??.... White old fashioned phone on a table as you opened the front door?
 
Thanks for the comments everyone, very much appreciated :mrgreen:

Very kind words indeed, as it was your reports from the place that finally convinced me to go the first time. Slavutich is pretty much identical to Prypyat, very practical in its design and has a very hospitable pub in the centre (with free wifi) which we made ample use of each night :mrgreen:

Yep, top floor, passed all the graffiti, had the kitchen, toilet and bathroom to the right, then the 2 bedrooms to the left and a stone balcony which did not seem to be quite attached to the wall!
 
Cracking pics mate! #12 has been my desktop for a couple of years now, stunning in mono ...
 
Absolutely outstanding report there mate! Love your processing :)
 
Excellent report, and superb pics......you certainly have a great 'eye' for a shot!
