In the hospital in Pripyat where the firefighters that tried to extinguish the Chernobyl nuclear fire were treated until they got transferred to Moscow.
Thank you all for the kind replies.
The story behind these tripods is more mundane than you probably expect; I was on a photography outing into the Chernobyl exclusion zone with a group of 7 photographers. As it was mostly overcast and we were mostly shooting indoors, all of us heavily relied on our trusty tripods indoors. However, once outdoors, most of us would be somewhat on the lazy side and just plant them somewhere while shooting hand-held. In this instance we were in an overgrown children’s play yard. I felt the sight of tripods among the trees to be an odd sight and a nice meta-image of our trip that I just had to shoot it. Right before the shot, one of my colleague photographers wanted to retrieve her tripod from the bunch, but I luckily convinced her to let it rest for a little while more.
