Riding through Chernobyl

Here are several pictures from someone who tours the "the dead zone" of Chernobyl on her motorcycle.

Via Art Bell. In keeping with the source, do you notice something... strange... about the first photo on this page? Did "Elena" - if that is indeed her name - blur out the picture of a mutant space alien inhabitant of the Chernobyl dead zone?

UPDATE: The previous link was to an angelfire page which has since disappeared. Good thing considering their various attempts to take over my browser.

UPDATE 2: First, I changed the second link to point to a page not at Angelfire; the original page was located at www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/chapter13.html but all the angelfire pages appear to have gone away.

Second, an alternate address is www.kiddofspeed.com

Third, and most important, this site has now been determined to be a hoax.

I remember very clearly the Chernobyl catastrophe. I grew up in Scandinavia and was in 5th or 6th grade when it happened. People were very scared. No berry or mushroom picking for years. All farm animals were kept inside for years. The fire department came to school to educate us what to do "in case..."!!!
If those pics and that girl's story is for real it's pretty amazing to see what it looks like there now. Great link!
