Live Nature of Chernobyl (Pripyat)
Pripyat. There is small quantity of people who don’t know about this town. Satellite town of Chernobyl NPP, was completely evacuated after the accident in 1986. Internet is filled with slightly creepy photographs from the ghost town with crumbling buildings, rusting machinery and crumbling plastering.

Cottonwoods braking paving slabs, concrete and becoming a home for birds.
Acacia contrives to win the space of concrete steps.
Birch forest grows between the sleepers. Other vegetation is also not lagging behind.
Asphalt area initially are covered with moss, and then with the green clump of trees.
On the roof? It is easy!
Grow directly from the walls of the building? Yes, check!
On the balcony? No problems.
Vegetation comes closely to the walls, climbs into the houses.
Penetrates deeper into the buildings
Covers all available space.
And maybe it's not so bad? Nature, as best it could, heals a dead city, tightening its wounds, and only in a few kilometers several thousand of people - Chernobyl NPP’s employers – are trying to heal the wound, created by the damaged Unit 4.
