[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this picture on a gym in a culture center "Energetik" in Pripyat. The city was evacuated on 27 April 1986 following the disaster in Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Apartment buildings, swimming pools, hospitals, hotels, schools and other buildings were all abandoned, and everything inside the buildings were left behind.

A great "still life" shot Andrzej. The abandoned shoes are very poignant and the colours compliment each other well. This series is very impressive. How did you get access to this site, is the town open now ? Regards, Roberto

Hi Andrzej,

Composition very moving. Framing with the lines of the slats of the floor, waste and the shoes show well the dramatic side of this past.
Your note is very important.
Thanks for sharing and and let us not forget...
Cordially
Pierre

Composition très émouvante. Le cadrage avec les lignes des lattes du plancher, les déchets et les chaussures montrent bien le côté dramatique de ce passé.
Ta note est très importante.

Great shot! I like the sense of abandonment that this gives, like the people just disappeared in a moment. Good use of the floor boards to give some texture and direction to this. Well done!

Bonsoir Andrzej
Très belle photo par ses couleurs passées et sa composition mais surtout pour son côté émotionnel.
Ces objets abandonnés ,c'est très poignant.
Amitiés

Witaj Andrzeju!

I bez opisu widać że na tym parkiecie dawno juz nikt nie grał. Bardzo wymowne zdjęcie. Odwiedziłeś ciekawe chociaż nieco upiorne miejsce. To zdjęcie - tak proste wiele o nim mówi.

Podoba mi się - wzbudza lekki dreszczyk, a to chyba dobrze

pozdrawiam
Jacek

Hello Andrzej,
Great picture. A fine composition with interesting colours, but most of all a photograph telling av very moving and important story. This is surely a picture that takes a step beyond the usual lovely views af TE.
Best wishes,
Gert

Pozdrawiam, mi³ej niedzieli

Very impressive photo of an even more dramatic event in april 1986.
In a way the soft colours of the floor add to the drama you caught in these left behind shoes....

a piece of art!
