Welcome to Prypiat, the home of the largest nuclear disaster in history, in the wintertime. Prypiat was founded in 1970 to house the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers. 
It is obviously closed now and is very spooky looking. It is amazing that there are still trees and plants that still grow there.

Humans have this annoying habit of messing with Mother Nature wherever they go, whether it's volunteer or not, the result is the same: nature always suffers from human activity.
It's been more than a month and a half now since the Explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig of the Gulf of Mexico and the oil leak has had more than plenty of time to reach the coasts of Louisiana and mess with nature.
Animals are obviously the first and very victims of the leak and we don't count all the seabirds, fish and other creatures caught in the dirty oil slick.
Very sad pictures of this drama await you inside the post...
