chernobyl



Forgive me if you find this a downer, but googling takes me on some wild rides sometimes. Case in point: Once, in a pretty interior decorating picture book, I saw an image of an artist's garden. The garden was more like a living installation with sculpture and green growing things and all sorts of evocative fog surrounding it. In the distance there was a nuclear power plant. I hope I have most of the facts straight. My memory tends to fade and/or embellish.
In any event, I googled to see if perhaps I could stumble on the image. Instead, I ended up looking through some pretty sad pictures of Chernobyl. These here fascinate me. The top image is of a waste storage facility. But I think it's kind of beautiful. Which, honestly, makes me feel like an asshole. The other two are of homes and a garden in the shadow of the nuclear power plant.
*images found here, here, and here.
