Dom's Rambles

I linked to this site off my old blog (the blog which featured in the groundbreaking 2005 Blogged: Dispatches from the Blogosphere by Tim Worstall - one reviewer describing my contribution as '...gloriously unhinged', which pleased me immensely) but thought I'd revisit the thing as it seem to have been updated a little since then.
Basically it's a collection of captioned photos taken by a Russian girl called Elena who burns around Chernobyl and the surrounding area on her bike. Some of the images, particularly the shots from the abandoned kindergarten, are quite haunting - see what you think.
The meltdown of the Chernobyl reactor was actually the second worst man-made ecological disaster of all time. The worst, which I had never even heard of until I read an article about it by A A Gill, was the Biblical horror visited upon the Aral Sea region and was made by the same men who brought us the the aforementioned Chernobyl.
