I really like these type shots!!! It looks like a trillionth of a second after a high nuclear airburst... But is also a nice place to sit and whittle away the sweet day with a glass of tea, whisky or beer... Really excellent!!!
The use of green makes this one truly stand out. Very well done!!! Of course it looks like its glowing with radioactivity... Still quite the perfect opening shot!!!
DME you said a mouthful and I agree with you 100%. I know this comment is a bit late, but I had to inject my 2 cents. Kids today are not taught the values and respect that we were taught. I am so scared for the future of the country because of this.
DME, you are right on the money with your comments. We comment on the same things (i.e. shopping carts) when we go shopping. In fact, will take carts back into the store on our way in and then shake our heads in amazement when we come back out ten minutes later and find just as many (if not more) back in the same place.
Nope, no rules broken so no worries... I think the radiation levels at Pripyat are at a level that would be acceptable for someone visiting for a short time. I'm usually in Germany every 2 years or so, I can't wait to go back!
Great! Another gallery I haven't seen yet!....Motts, please do not go anywhere near Chernobyl, Ukraine. #1 The radiation is still too high there. Roger Mudd, a reporter with CBS's '60 Minutes' went there and took every precaution to protect himself from too much radiation. He ended up getting leukemia and dying from it, due to his radiation exposure at Chernobyl. #2. As you probably know by now politics are in an uproar right now in Ukraine. Pro-Russian 'rebels' have taken up arms against the Ukrainian Army. I, myself, wouldn't want to get caught in another country's civil war!
BTW, Motts, when are you going to return to Germany, so you can take a photo of a 'Singewald' for me? Translation: Singing Forest. Me thinks tbere shouldn't be anytbing creepy about that photo! : ) Anyway that's my Grandmother's German maiden name. Her family came over to the U.S.A. from Dresden, Germany, in the late 1800s. (Yawn! I hope I haven't put you to sleep!)
I think those figures in the windows are friends of motts'.
One is looking right at him from the right window. And a second is
a shadow in the middle widow on the stairs.
But still a woderful picture. Just discovered this site a few days
ago. And Love it. Thanks Motts.
