Ukraine photo gallery
Photos taken in April 2007.
Potemkin steps, Odessa. Taking this picture, I had my back to the Audi dealership. I think it's fair to say they aren't making the most of their world-famous landmark…
Battery 411, a 45-minute bus ride from central Odessa, is a memorial park to Odessa's role in the Great Patriotic War (WW2). They have the usual tanks and guns, but also a submarine.
Odessa is a hugely popular seaside resort, but it was out of season, so this amusement park was closed.

Me at Chernobyl. Background radiation level in Kiev is about 0.012, so you can see levels are elevated here. Reactor 4 is right behind me.
View across the main square in Pripyat, the deserted city built to house Chernobyl workers and their families.
