if u ever thought where u live is abit of a dump..

The legacy of ruins – both atomic and physical

This is very interesting I think – the diary of a woman who likes to travel through the Chernobyl ‘dead zone’ on her Kawasaki ninja….she has too ride alone or just with a pillion passenger – it’s dangerous with other vehicles because of the radioactive dust that they kick up…

What u do see is how quickly nature absorbs mans works… animals and wildlife are flourishing, but don’t eat them – or any fruit or veg grown there…… everythin is radioactive till at least 2525.

‘Radiation will stay in the Chernobyl area for the next 48.000 years, but humans may begin repopulating the area in about 600 years - give or take three centuries.’



‘The day after the accident, this place on the bridge provided a good view of the gaping crack in the nuclear containment vessel that was ruptured by the explosion. Many curious people came here to have a look and were bathed in a flood of deadly x-rays emanating directly from the glowing nuclear core.’

‘ Zimbabwe, Ephesus, el tajin, Athens, Rome - Now, as for centuries, tourists behold those ruins with awe and wonder. Yet today, a vast and history laden ruin site passes unnoticed,  even despised, into oblivion. Come, travel with me, as I guide you on a tour through the fabulous and vanishing ruins of my beloved Detroit.’

also worth a look – take a tour around Detroit’s wasting industrial landscape – the fabulous ruins of Detroit!
