26.4.1986At school I had a Math test, but I wondered if someone had noticed my new jeans.
Later I went riding with my friend and fell straight into the lake.
Afterwards we ate some fish and ice-cream.
Two weeks later I went to the hospital. I had got a terrible rash, but the doctors said I wasn't allergic to anything. There's no markings in my diary of Chernobyl. I was just a bit worried if he would saw the scratch marks on my neck. It was some hot and itchy spring.

Here's some quiet, beautiful photos taken by Finnish photographer Lasse Arkela.

I followed your link and looked at the photos. I agree they are very beautiful and haunting. This is a very sad but important post.
The photos of the empty hospital beds with teddy-bears were my favourites, altough those made me feel extremely hopeless.
Finally got around to looking at the link. Haunting is definitely the word.
