This is the view of the Chernobyl reactor as seen from the so-called “Bridge of Death”. To the immediate right of the reactor you might see 2 white cranes. These cranes are part of the “new safe containment” project. The goal of this project is to create a new containment unit, and to replace the existing sarcophagus.
On the left side of the photo you will see 2 sets of railroad tracks. Notice also how the tracks on the left have obviously not been maintained in a very long time. The tracks on the right look positively new in comparison. That's likely because they are new. This train line has apparently been reactivated as part of the "new safe containment" project.
Now, after all of this, you just might be wondering how this bridge got the name “Bridge of Death.” In the early morning of April 26, 1986, an explosion at the Chernobyl number 4 reactor blew a 1000 ton cover off the containment unit. Obviously, an explosion of that magnitude would be heard a good distance away. But no news was forthcoming from the Soviet authorities or the power plant managers. So, some people wandered out the following morning to try to figure out what happened. This bridge was the 1st place they could get a clear view of the reactors. Unfortunately, the night before, a good deal of radiation had fallen in this area. It is said that everyone who viewed the explosion from this vantage point died. Whether that is true, I cannot say. And whether death happened in one month, one year, or 5 years, I have not seen reports clarifying that in any way.
It is not surprising that people who viewed the reactors from this vantage point received a high dosage of radiation. From the point where I took this photo, off to the right and behind me, is an area called “the Red Forest.” It is said that the Red Forest received such a high dose of radiation that the trees glowed red. Or maybe it was only the needles on the pine trees that glowed red. This is one of the more frustrating legacies of Chernobyl. If you read 3 different reports on any aspect of Chernobyl, you may likely get 3 very different stories of what actually happened that day. The Red Forest, to this day, remains one of the most radioactive areas within the Chernobyl "exclusion zone" or "zone of alienation."
For those who may be wondering, during the 30 hours I spent in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, my radiation exposure was roughly equivalent to what I would receive in Kiev over a seven-day period. And roughly equivalent to Detroit, USA, but less then places like Denver. And it was less than the typical radiation exposure one would receive on a New York to Los Angeles round-trip flight.

Chernobyl Reactor #4, seen to the left of the red and white tower, famously blew it's top in 1986. This photo, taken on April 27, 2012, occurred one day after a new milestone for this disaster. Because, one day earlier, the construction phase of the "New Safe Confinement" unit began. (The planning and creating new project infrastructure phase had been ongoing for five years now). The "New Safe Confinement" is being built a few hundred meters (yards, for the metrically challenged) from Chernobyl #4's current sarcophagus, and when it is completed in 2015, will be moved into place on specially laid tracks and will cover the existing sarcophagus. Once in place, the existing sarcophagus will be dismantled.
From Wikipedia…
The NSC design is an arch-shaped steel structure with an internal height of 92.5 metres (303.5 ft), and a 12-metre (39.4 ft) distance between the centers of the upper and lower arch chords. The internal span of the arch is to be 245 metres (803.8 ft), and the external span is to be 270 metres (885.8 ft). The dimensions of the arch were determined based upon the need to operate equipment inside the new shelter and decommission the existing shelter. The overall length of the structure is 150 metres (492.1 ft), consisting of 13 arches assembled 12.5 metres (41 ft) apart to form 12 bays. The ends of the structure will be sealed by vertical walls assembled around, but not supported by, the existing structures of the reactor building.
I have not been online much, shooting much, posting much, commenting much - She is the reason for it all .. and much more :)

This was taken at sunrise. Not quite what I expected after the 4:30am wake-up.
Explored, thanks all :)
I never had any idea to post this pic today, guess what made me post this then? My PC crashed last night and all the pics that were in there processed were gone. I had taken a backup some time back, but all the new ones were gone forever. I just said to myself its nothing but an opportunity that life has given me, when ever we have something behind us saved for some other day, we start playing safer, the initial fire comes down a little, coz we always know there is something to fall back on, but not everything goes as planned in life and that's the specialty of life. isn't it? But don't you feel when such things happen its an opportunity thrown at you by life to show yourself. Of course its you who had created all those which you had as backup, now you can again start running from the beginning more faster, you have nothing to lose now. If its you who had created whatever that is gone then you can get it back, coz you know how to do it. If its not you who had created those, then there is no point worrying about it, coz it was never yours. There are moments like these in life which teaches us how to go ahead, its just how you look at it. You can feel dejected for the lose and brood over everything that was lost and the amount of work you put in for that or can step ahead and say Thank you life for this opportunity with a S M I L E and I am smiling :). Not always we thank everyone who deserves it, life is one such thing, we blame it when we suffer, but we never think every suffering is an opportunity to look at life in positive way. This photo is dedicated to things like L I F E which never gets the T H A N K S it deserves. How cool LIFE is, isn't :) .Thanks for all your support and have a nice weekend
பிறந்துவிட்ட பிள்ளைகள் யாரும் தாய்க்கு நன்றி சொல்வதில்லை,
வெற்றியைக் கொண்டாடுகையிலெல்லாம் தோல்விகளுக்கு யாரும் நன்றி சொல்வதில்லை,
எழுந்து நடக்கையிலெல்லாம் விழுந்த இடங்களுக்கு யாரும் நன்றி சொல்வதில்லை,
சாப்பிட்டு முடிக்கையிலெல்லாம் பசிக்கு யாரும் நன்றி சொல்வதில்லை,
சிரித்து முடிக்கையிலெல்லாம் கண்ணீருக்கு யாரும் நன்றி சொல்வதில்லை,
நமக்கு வாழச்சொல்லிக் கொடுத்து நம்மிடம் திட்டுமட்டுமே வாங்கும் வாழ்க்கைக்கு யாரும் நன்றி சொல்வதில்லை,
நாம் சொல்லாமல் விட்டதற்காக அவை அதற்காக வருந்துவதுமில்லை அந்த நன்றிகளுக்காக காத்திருப்பதுமில்லை,
நன்றிகள் வெறும் வார்த்தைகளாகி வெகு நாட்களாகிவிட்டது,
யாரைச் சேர வேண்டுமோ அவர்களை அது சென்றடைவதேயில்லை,
அப்படி சொல்லப்படாமலே விட்டுவிட்ட நன்றிகளுக்காக இந்த நன்றி.

This photo was taken in an unknown town within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, but well south of Chernobyl. This town, while not all that big from what I could see, did have this rather important looking building smack in the middle of it. It appeared to be some type of Performing Arts Center, but a town this small would not normally have something like this. Maybe it was a combination school / community center / performing arts center? I can't tell you.
