Simon is fine. :)

....uhh is that the same fox? Do they grow winter coats? Does Simon just refer to all red foxes seen in the area? Many questions...

this one is amazing. I love seen this on man made places

Oh wow this plant knows how to climb

Nature fighting back; that’s lovely.

beautiful !

this is beautiful, i'd totally have a tree in my balcony

I would think that there a few people living inside the exclusion zone. That feed the cats now and then. Perhaps people on the run and hiding out or little old lady who simply wouldn't leave. Or perhaps live just over the boundary and they check on things now and then

The horses are settled by the government to eat the withered grass which would be burn in the summer and spread again the radioactive dust in the atmosphere.

strangely nice idea, an phone-box in the middle of nowhere, maybe the forest spirits needs to make calls time to time

nature always wins

It looks very post apocalyptic

The grass looks so green.

For thirty years I would expect a lot more damage to the wooden window frames. "damage" meaning growth of moss / ivy / weeds.

Doesn't help that everywhere was looted and vandalised... :(

"If you go down in the woods today"

Beautiful, but so eerie

This one is pleasant. The flowers are pink and pretty, nothing stops them at being healthy and happy ^^

It's almost a holy place. I wish I could go there

I thought it was half a house above water :D

Wow, the tree just grew right through it!

This one is a problem, because it's a steel lattice structure that has been exposed tot he elements without maintenance for the last 33 years and been recently the target of scrap scavengers. It's only a matter of time until some critical joint will be corroded enough to give way (especially if some other bits have been haphazardly harvested) and then it will all come down suddenly, without warning. With increased tourist activity in the Zone, including people climbing the structure, I fear it's quite possible someone might be injured or killed. So please, if you go to Chernobyl... stay away from this thing, or at least be aware it might collapse. I know what I'm talking about, I'm an architect and I nearly fell 10m to my death while visiting an abandoned prison when the walkway I was on collapsed suddenly, even though I had walked on it 5 minutes earlier and it seemed fine.

Ahhhhh, the 80's .... before cribs met safety :P

Remind me of my youth on call of duty MW2. With a glitch you could go there

Energetik vibes from this one!! The twiggy tree and tiny green leaves look like fairy lights <.<

Too clean for 30 years

like to walk around there

"Plant" workers 8-)

Glad nature has reclaimed this place. It all looks like garden art. Now animals have some shelter.
