Conservation wax? What the hell is that used for? Some documents about the electric systems of the building. Location info has again been erased. The doorway from the stairway to the upstairs corridor. The main entrance is in the low wing. The classrooms are probably in the other wing. The upstairs corridor. Room 18. ItContinue reading “When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part III”

When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part II
So, welcome to the downstairs corridor of the agriculture school. The first room was a fucking mess. And for some reason the blackboard contained information about the first Finnish war. What the hell? These are probably made by the inhabitants of the refugee center times. Pipes. A lot of them. And something, which looks likeContinue reading “When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part II”
When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part I
And here we are at another new location. This here is a former agricultural school, which was built in the 1950’s and closed in the early 2000’s. While I was approaching, I was approached by a woman, who worked at a flea market just behind my back. She told me, that the school had beenContinue reading “When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part I”
They Closed The Doors After My Friend
Welcome to a new location for a change. This here is a former border control troop garrison. It was built in 1951 and closed in 2001. After that it was sold to a private investor, who planned tourism there. The plans never materialized. The place has been closed for years. A friend of mine exploredContinue reading “They Closed The Doors After My Friend”
A Special Assignment
The night was approaching. I still had one place I wanted to visit. It was the home of my friend’s great grandmother. My friend had given me a location and stated, that there should be something there. She and her mother really wanted me to visit this place. Well, I went there. It was oneContinue reading “A Special Assignment”
This Is What Is Remaining
And I am once again at a familiar location. This here is the former sawmill featured in 2020 as a mystery factory and in 2022 as a sawmill. Just a few months after my previous pictures there was a massive fire, which destroyed most of the complex. This is what is left. So… this isContinue reading “This Is What Is Remaining”
The School Is Still Out Of Bounds
And so I welcome you to yet another familiar location. This here is the secondary school featured earlier in 2020. Nothing seemed to have changed throughout the years. The building was as empty as always. And as closed as always. Although suffering some damage, the place still seemed locked. I knew the name of theContinue reading “The School Is Still Out Of Bounds”
It’s A Landmark Whether You Like It Or Not
So, a rather large building not featured here earlier. This here is the former storage and office building of the local co-operative store. It was built in 1952 and abandoned around 2019. Although it is pretty much unique, it has a valid demolition permit. The paintings on the wall are also very well made. TheContinue reading “It’s A Landmark Whether You Like It Or Not”
There It Sits And Nobody Does Anything About It
Welcome to yet another familiar location. This here is the former co-operative store previously featured in 2022. The change from the previous year is, that now most of its windows are boarded shut. The municipality owns it and already tried to demolish it once. As it is marked as historically important, they didn’t get permissionContinue reading “There It Sits And Nobody Does Anything About It”
The Years Made It Unfashionable
Back in the 1960’s regulations were lifted and prosperity in Finland was growing. That’s why a lot of people and families started getting cars. A whole new hotel concept was launched around the country, where large resorts were built to remote lakeside locations. But as wealth grew and flights got cheaper, the interest of theContinue reading “The Years Made It Unfashionable”
