I took this photo inside the cultural center, which is in the City Center of the abandoned city of Pripyat Ukraine. This town was founded in February 1970 as the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union. It was built to serve and support the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Of course, after the nuclear disaster, the city and the entire surrounding area was evacuated.

In this room, you can see a former boxing ring that was set up. Note how the sun rays are highlighted in this photo…. That’s not from photo software editing magic…. Simon flew a drone around the room, which kicked up all this dust helping to create this affect (Great idea of Robert’s)
