Her websites are a photo-essay of her travels through the Chernobyl's zone of alienation. As she traveled across the Ukrainian countryside, she took some amazing photos of old, crumbling buildings and churches. *
I was inspired to "refurbish" one of her abandoned buildings in Second Life. I found an incredibly cool building, created by Van Auster/POST - Suntaks Gamla Kyrka (which literally translates to Suntaks old church).

Here are my two builds!

The First Build
