Pripyat Ukraine Hot Spots

Here are some more of my favorite Chernobyl Exclusion Zone spots (pre-war).  By the way, I’m still sad about what’s happening there.

Pripyat riverside Cafe

Office

Hospital utility room

Pripyat Hospital

I’ll keep the Ukraine photo theme going.  I don’t know about you, but I keep watching and reading everything I can find about the war in Ukraine.  I’m so sad about what’s happening and mad at the Russian government for doing it. 

I took these photos (pre-war) inside the abandoned hospital in the city of Pripyat, Ukraine.  This city is inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and a few miles from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

Surgical Room

Hospital supply room

Optical Exam Room

I don’t know what this hospital bed was for

Baby nursery

Another nursery room in the OB department

Chernobyl

I don’t know what to say about the war in Ukraine.  It is so frustrating to know people, historical sites, houses, etc.. are getting injured, damaged or worse because of one person’s greed and evil intent.

These are photos from Chernobyl (pre-war).

Chernobyl Crane Assembly

During our 2018 Chernobyl trip, we explored the city of Pripyat, Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plants and the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.  In the Exclusion Zone, we came upon this waterfront crane which was used to load and unload ships.  The entire crane is cool, but I focused my time capturing smaller sections of it to highlight the details.

Pripyat Kids Camp

During our trip to Chernobyl, we got a chance to visit this children’s summer camp outside of Pripyat in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.  Like everything in the Zone, mother nature is taking over.  There is something beautiful about this scene, in a sad way.
