Pripryat: An uncommon City in the Soviet Union. The Atomic Cities had special status, wgere the average age was 25. A place for the cream of their youth to work and play. The swimming pool was one of the stand out facilities that Pripryat boasted. Here, the delapidated stairs lead to a ruined, empty pool. Painted peeling from unused walls, Dust and dirt radio active?) build up at the edges.
Hand held shot, taken under time and minder pressure. It was like walking through one of the historically significant site of the 20th Century
