Viewable Silence

Chernobyl.  Many of us are familiar with the stories of this nuclear accident from reading the papers and watching the teevee news.  Via Billy Beck, you can take a photo tour of the “dead zone" with a Russian girl who, well, she says it best, I think.

"Motorcycling is a great hobby of mine, I ride all my life and I owned different bikes and I ended with big kawasaki zzr 1100 cc sport touring motorcycle, which also known as ZX-11. it fast like a bullet and comfortable for long trips. I travel a lot and one of my favorite destination lead through poisoned with radiation, so called Chernobyl “dead zone” It is 130kms from my home. Why favourite? because one can ride there for hours and not meet any single car and not to see any single soul. People left and nature is blooming, there are beautiful places, woods, lakes. There is no newly built roads, but those which left from 80th in fairly good condition."

Quite a unique experience.
