Just to clarify for everyone: while the photos of the Chernobyl surroundings are real, Elena's motorcycle journey story was exposed as a hoax a long time ago(http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp?fid=1&threadid=8951). I suppose it is a good example of creative storytelling using the archaeological landscape, though....
Cheers,
Brian

Elena Filatova's photographic journeys on motorcycle through the ghost town
of Chernobyl in the former Soviet union are absolutely fantastic.
