At 1:23am April 26. 1986 the chain reaction in the reactor no 4 in the Nuclear Power Plant at Chernobyl became out of control creating explosions and a fireball which blew off the reactor's heavy steel and concrete lid.
As a tribute to those thousands of deads and the environment disaster I made this cold blue painting.
More details about Chernobyl can be found in Wikipedia, and the highly exposed radiation areas seen at the map here presented in Elena Filatova´s Chernobyl journal and listen to the "Ghost Town" Song
