miscellany

This is a very well executed photo essay that brought tears to my eyes and sent shivers down my spine. The aftermath of Chernobyl is something I've not heard of for a long, long time. It's massive. It's heartbreaking. It's otherworldly.

The photo essay is disturbing, but I sometimes need to see disturbing things to gain some mote of understanding of what devastation people - real people - have experienced and live and die with daily.

The photo essay is about 10 minutes long and there is more content to explore afterwards. I spent about 30 minutes there. Much like when I saw Schindler's List and was so deeply affected by it as to choose never to watch it again, I will not view this again. I strongly encourage you to view it, at least as much as you will. It's something I think we all need to see/feel/experience. It needs to touch our souls. It's not penance; it's a lesson that mustn't be diminished by time.
