On April 26th 1986 one of the four reactors at the Chernobyl power plant in the Ukraine exploded, spreading nuclear contamination all over the surrounding area and crossing boundaries into other countries. Many people who were at the plant trying to get the situation under control died from radiation poisoning within a few weeks of the accident, and those hired to clean up the Chernobyl accident had similar problems as they did not have proper protection.
Now this plant and surrounding towns are abandoned and no-one can enter without permission from the government.
Pripyat Middle School No. 3
Pripyat, once the workers town and communist "City Of The Future", is a true ghost town. People left in a rush leaving personal items behind, believing they would be returning for their belongings soon. It has been as they left it for 20 years, save for some vandalism by the government in an attempt to discourage looters and broken windows to prevent radiation accumulating within the buildings.
These childrens gas masks seem extremely sinister considering the disaster at the plant. However in actuality it is less so, the power plant was considered a major potential target in the event of a cold war strike against the communist nations. The gas masks were stored in case of attack from the West.
Pripyat Hospital #126
There is a bridge between the Chernobyl plant and Pripyat which overlooks the reactors. When the disaster happened, many citizens of the town gathered on the bridge to watch, unaware of the danger. They all died within weeks of the accident.
The basement of the hospital in Pripyat is one of the most radioactive locations outside of the reactor. After the accident the firefighters who were first on scene were taken to the hospital and their fire-protective suits are still lying in the basement today, too radioactive to be moved. Even in full protective gear you can spend no more than 30 seconds in the basement.
Pripyat Kindergartens "The Golden Key" and "Cheburashka"
Some of the most haunting imagery from Chernobyl is from the many Kindergartens dotted around Pripyat. Lost toys, abandoned shoes and childrens cots complete with bedding all paint a horrific picture.
Pripyat Swimming Pool & basketball Court
Even before the accident Chernobyl was a closed zone and Pripyat was built solely to house the workers of the plant. They could not leave the zone without acquiring a visa. In return they lived in the most modern town in the Ukraine, provided by the Soviet state. The fun fair, cinema, theatre, hospital, numerous schools and kindergartens were all unheard of in such a small town in a Communist nation, making this a truely unique location already.
Above, the school library contents have been tipped across the floor and spill out into the corridor. Below, Soviet imagery can be found throughout the town, these examples were found in the School and Hospital.
Pripyat is now incredibly overgrown and home to wild boar, wild horses and wolves to name a few. The buildings are beginning to become structurally unsound and parts of the town have already collapsed.
Light painting is the art of artificially colouring or "drawing" on an image with torches, LEDs, and colored lights. Light painting is usually performed at night or in otherwise near dark conditions.
This is the same location in daylight, back lit with limited light coming in through a small window high in the wall.
The United Kingdom once enjoyed a large mining industry and many of these mines are now empty and disused. One of the largest and most well known is Box Quarry near Bath, one of the largest quarries of Bath Stone in the UK. Remaining inside are several cranes used for dragging and lifting the quarried stone, and some remnants of the rail tracks used to transport the stone.
