Hospital Lobby

This is the Pripyat Hospital lobby inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.  This hospital received and cared for the firefighters who responded to the nuclear reactor disaster when the Chernobyl accident occurred.  All of the firefighters died of radiation exposure.

Pripyat Overgrown

This is a photo looking down, via my drone, at the City of Pripyat, which sits next to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.  It has been abandoned since April 1986 following the nuclear disaster at this site.  As you can see, mother nature is taking over.  These buildings are high rise apartment buildings.

Pripyat Cultural Center

This iconic Chernobyl building is the Cultural Center in the main square of downtown Pripyat.  It has a couple swimming pools, boxing ring, gymnastic equipment, auditorium, exercise rooms, and a bunch of other things.  Right behind this building is where the carnival was setup to start a festival that never happened.  By the way, this structure was a great building to explore.
