    The cafe area was one of the more heavily contaminated areas of Pripyat. The last time I was there I received numerous dosimeter alarms in front of the building. The long structure seen to the side of the cafe is a drive-in area reminiscent of 50's style American eateries. The dock area down by the river is still used by the guards and local police for rest and meal breaks. I have pleasant memories of an afternoon spend there with them.

    It's amazing how quickly nature has reclaimed everything. Trees and shrubs will someday obscure this entire city. It will all go back to nature. How does the saying go, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..." I feel sad for the people who lost their entire city, and their way of life.

    Such beautiful stained-glass artwork. It's very sad that oneday it will be rubble on the floor.

    someday maybe we can return..... radiation will decay, and new methods of decontamination will be found, so maybe the city will live again

    Yeah, right))) Do you know the half-life of radioctive elements out there?.. Even our grangrangrandchildren won't be able to return there.

    I have just documented many buildings in Pripyat and liked the cafe area particulary...Shimmler is correct sadly,no one will be coming back here for hundreds of years if ever..even tours will cease in the not too distant future.
