picture of the view of the residential buildings in the city of Prypjat, Chernobyl

Panoramic view of the city of Prypjat, home to about 50,000 people at the time of the nuclear disaster on April 26, 1986. The following day, April 27, all inhabitants were evacuated with the promise of a return that never happened. For almost forty years the city has lain in a state of deep abandonment, with nature slowly reclaiming urban spaces creating a surreal landscape.
