Chernobyl:

This has got to be one of the most interesting sites I have seen in a long time.  It is a website set up by a Ukrainian woman who is a motorcycle enthusiast (not dumb and obviously very well connected).  This particular site is a photo-journal of a trip she got permission to take to the  Chernobyl "dead zone".  The first few pages are mostly text providing background for the trip & Chernobyl accident, but then transitions over to mostly images with text limited to supporting information.  Very well researched and written.  Even if you don't take time to read everything, click through all the images ("next page" hyperlinks are a the bottom of each page, 27 web pages total).
