Dream Hotel

Some memories of Tjornobyl…..

I guess an era is to the end now. War in the zone and a lot of mines has been spread…. so sad. And also all buildings that were already in a pretty bad shape has turn some years older. Even before the war some buildings had started to collapse due to some 35+ years… Continue reading Some memories of Tjornobyl…..

This massive place was never finished. some people say that this complex was planned due to the obsession to have an olympic summergame. Swimming and gymnastics………. Today it stands alone, looted and will propably never come any closer to function. If you like riding electrical scooters, this might be the place for them to die?… Continue reading Swimming is cancelled…..
