Next to the damaged reactor 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, a huge construction site is still frozen in time: units 5 and 6, never completed. Two cooling towers were being built for that expansion — one lower, one rising much higher. This is the taller one. If you look closely at the rim, you can still see the scaffolding and the formwork traces up there, like the last sentence of a project that was never allowed to end properly.
Inside, it’s pure scale. The white tiled skin curves upward into a perfect circle of sky, and the concrete pillars stand like unfinished punctuation marks. The catwalk leads the eye straight into that “eye” above — a view that had been stuck in my head for a long time, and one I hadn’t seen before in quite this way.
Getting to the spot wasn’t casual. It was dangerous — but it wasn’t reckless. Roughly ten meters up, balancing on a narrow concrete beam, you feel every step and every shift of weight. The only way it makes sense is with a clear plan, full focus, and an honest assessment of what you can handle. With a partner handing up the camera it becomes more manageable and predictable. Alone, the same line would carry a very different kind of risk — not just physically, but mentally too, because there’s no buffer if something goes wrong.
