The capital region is a funny place in terms of urban exploration. Land is expensive and there’s a constant lack of apartments. This means, that buildings are often demolished directly after becoming vacant. The window of finding access to them is very narrow.
But the funny thing is that here and there there are loads of abandoned one family houses, which have stood empty for years. They have often become uninhabitable, but finding lots for new one family houses is so difficult that they surely would find a buyer, who would just demolish the house and build a new one. For some reason or another this doesn’t happen, and the old houses just stand empty.
Here’s one of them. Or at least should be.
Although the roof was growing moss and looked like it was starting to fall apart, I wasn’t quite sure about this one. The lot wasn’t too overgrown and all windows were intact.
I could have gone closer, but I wasn’t really sure about it. In addition to the unknown state of the building the neighbors on both sides were on their back yards, and the houses were really close. They were literally less than 10 meters away.
So I was unlucky this time. But luckily the Finnish summer days are long and dawn comes early. I will be back.
