Today for the first time ever I showed up for a photo and was welcomed by a choral serenade and fresh baked bread. Man, they know how to welcome guests here!
I was visiting Ivankiv, the last remaining inhabited town before the Chernobyl exclusion zone. These women are members of a 45-women choir dedicated to preserving traditional songs and dances of the Polissa region, and supporting each other in tough times.
