Golden sunlight and stunning color in a city returning to nature

When you finally enter Prypiat it is impossible not to be stuck by how much life there is in this abandoned city.

Dogs pad about as trees sway in the wind. It is abandoned, but it is not barren.

With the burst of autumn color there is a sense of beauty and cheer. Had Pripyat not been abandoned it could have been the loveliest small town in Europe.
