A girl, a motorcycle, a camera, and Chernobyl
A very interesting online photo essay of motorcycling thru the Chernobyl area.

1. Several years ago I did a website for this young lady
and actually corresponded with her. Pretty amazing woman.

3. She is an amazing woman...
I love her photos and her words. The photos are eerie, yet so beautiful.

Thanks for sharing this.

5. I always found her site to be very interesting/fascinating but there is controversy...
...people have been said that she was on a standard tour of Chernobyl that anyone can take and she wore a motorcycle suit and carried a helmet posing for photos for the website.

I don't know what to believe about the motorcycle part of her trip but the photos are obviously real and very sobering.

Its just disappointing to learn that part of her story might be falsified.
