Has this photo or set been linked somewhere? This photo has been favourited 6 times in the last 9 hours, which is a bit strange after 3 and a half months ??

Ok, so I've looked at the trailer and screen-grabs of the game Call of Duty 4.
It really is exactly like Pripyat. It still feels slightly bizarre to actually have been there. Heh heh.

I wish I could go here. This place has an amazing story behind it, but only being 17, not much chance of getting there anytime soon.

And I remember getting killed in this pool in call of duty 4, ha.

My favourite level on C.O.D 4.

Brilliant photo. I got mauled by the dogs in the bottom of the pool because i lobbed a flash-bang at them LOL.

I have to go there. Pity im only fourteen so i can't really at the moment.

Really strange to see a photo of somewhere i've played in a game.

After reading about Pripyat and seeing these pictures on flickr I bought COD4 to see this in the game and its beautifully rendered, the pool, the dodgems, ferris wheel and the damaged apartment blocks are all integral to the game and are VERY like these photos on flickr, it makes me wonder how much of your photos were used by the developers.

I'd love to visit a place like this, but sadly I think the game is the closest I'll ever get.

Wow, nice image, especially with the sun shining like that. Makes it seem even more like nature will go on, no matter what. Despite the radiation.
I'm kinda getting the feeling I've seen this image before... Could it be someone else took a shot from the same angle or your photo is on google earth or pripyat.com?
