26th April 2006
twenty years later

I was lying out in the garden enjoying the sun,
Unaware of what was happening a few thousand miles to the east.
This pic is from the base of Mr Gorbachov,
Soviet leader at the time of the Chernobyl disaster.

Nikon D50
1/100s f/4.0 at 55.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

We had a commemorative service of this. Does not seem like that many years have passed.
