Elena's pictures are a must-see...

Kid of Speed's pictures ARE awesome, but I disagree with this:

"In Ukrainian language ( where we don't like to say "the") Chernobyl is the name of a grass, wormwood (absinth). This word scares the holy bejesus out of people here. Maybe part of the reason for that among religious people is because the Bible mentions Wormwood in the book of the revelatons - which fortells the end of the world.... "

Ah, the old 'Chernobyl' (chornobilka) is wormwood and is foretold in the Bible.

"REV 8:11 "And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."

This online Ukrainian Bible says, however:

"REV 8:11 À imennya zori tiy Polin. I stala tretina vodi, yak polin, i bagato z lyudey povmirali z vodi, bo zgirkla vona..."

No Chernobyl there, nor in this online Russian Bible:

"REV 8:11 Imya sey zvezde polyn'; i tret'ya chast' vod sdelalas' polyn'yu, i mnogie iz lyudey umerli ot vod, potomu chto oni stali gor'ki. "
