Go to the intrepid Elena Filatova's web site, kiddofspeed then in the left-hand menu there click on 'Ghost Town and the Land of the Wolves'. Pretty amazing stuff!

Flapper: Wow, she's a great writer and photographer. As she's in the Ukraine, wonder if anything "political" would happen to her if her essay, photos were picked up by a national publication? Wonder if her work is on YouTube? Maybe I'll check. Thanks for the web site link. Nancy
