Pripyat Culture Center’s Swimming Pool

Here are a few photos (pre-war) of the community swimming pool in downtown Pripyat.  This spot within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is very close to the iconic Chernobyl Ferris Wheel.

I’m sure that all visitors to Chernobyl visit both the Ferris Wheel and this swimming pool.

My heart continues to break for the people of Ukraine….  I’m going to run out of Ukraine photos soon that I haven’t posted already.  I realize that by posting my Ukraine photos, that it doesn’t help the people of Ukraine.  But I hope in some small way, it keeps them and their situation in our thoughts.

Pripyat Ukraine Hot Spots

Here are some more of my favorite Chernobyl Exclusion Zone spots (pre-war).  By the way, I’m still sad about what’s happening there.

Chernobyl Mural

Here is a mural I captured inside an abandoned building in the city of Pripyat.  Sorry I can’t remember which building.  Maybe some of my travel companions will remember.  I think it was the Post Office in the town square….maybe????
