I visited the Ukrainian Chornobyl zone in 2018. It was a sad and emotional place to see. Although it was very impressive and apocalyptic. A city with 50000 people that was evacuated in a few hours. (when the decision was made) Many years have passed since 1986 and the city is beyond all repair even… Continue reading Pripyat

More airplane shelters and som idea of how it works. The newer concrete runway. The old one is in the right of the picture… Continue reading Former airbase WP

I have visited this place on the Balkans 7 times during the years. First visit in 2010 and last time in 2021…. 11 years to see how something really nice is grinded down to a total disgrace by humans. First visit in 2010 with heavy rain coming in. 8 months later in 2011 some parts… Continue reading C47 Dakota, Skytrain

Stayed there in 2010, built in the 1983 s and now demolished. There is a Lidl standing there now… Only faced something… Continue reading Favorite hotels!
