For some time I am thinking about opening this thread.
As I said I am often going to google earth and go around various places where I will probably never go in person (time and money). So this is the thread about recommending interesting places to look at, monuments, landscapes, state of things, something random etc.
So for the start: I was a little surprised but there is a Chernobyl on google earth and you can look from some roads. It is in a way bizarre that this place is planned to become a tourist attraction, form what I read. The place on the map can be found in the north western Ukraine on the shores of river "Pripjat", right next to the border with Belarus. Plus what is perhaps even more interesting is that just to the north west of the ex power plant it abandoned town of Pripjat. It is interesting to see a town where absolutely no one lives for decades. It is pretty green.
