Pripyat, in Ukraine is a ghost town today due to the 1986 nuclear accident at the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear power plant. An exclusion zone covers 1017 square miles around the plant because of the radioactivity. Yet since the accident, Mother Nature and her creatures have reclaimed the area and the abandoned town.
Some intrepid souls have gone into Pripyat and left graffiti images on remaining walls.

Those closest to ground zero were incinerated in the boiling light of an atomic bomb. In their place was a shadow.
