35 Years Later: My 25 Photographs Capture The Loneliness Of The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
This week marks 35 years since the worst nuclear disaster in history; the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster.
Every year, on the anniversary, past and present residents of the Zone come together. They gather near a great metal angel statue. The statue is called "Monument of the Third Angel"; it is a tribute to all those who died as a result of the incident. Each person who attends holds a candle, they share stories and gather together to mark the day.
To commemorate the event in my own small way, I would like to share with you some photos that I took when I visited the Exclusion Zone a few years ago. I hope you find them thought-provoking and interesting.
