Building number three. Here’s a way in, the board promises. And it didn’t lie. The first photo from inside is the cover of a Danko Jones CD. The entrance was directly to an office room. Behind the doorway is a corridor and after that another one of the so many similar rooms I’ve already photographed.Continue reading “Winter Is Coming Part VI”

Winter Is Coming Part I
It was already late October. It’s around then, when the first snow lands on my former home town. I’ve come for another visit, and I’ve come to check, if the earlier covered Tahkokangas institution for mentally disabled would finally be open. This is the former main and administrative building. It is all empty now, butContinue reading “Winter Is Coming Part I”
Cottage For Sale
Well, well, well, what do we have here. A sign stating that the property is for sale. The property was just a crumbling cottage with broken windows and open doors. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and go for a private showing. The kitchen wasn’t of the latest model. A woodContinue reading “Cottage For Sale”
Didn’t Find A Way In So I Invited Myself Part IX
In the stairway was a small display with very random items. The corridor was similar to the one below. Schools with a side corridor were standard for architect Martti Heikura. He designed several of them. Coat racks for pupils. Another classroom, another beautiful wooden floor. The floor made a comforting, creaking sound, when I walkedContinue reading “Didn’t Find A Way In So I Invited Myself Part IX”
Three Form A Group
The following location on my little day trip: a former leather factory. Much older and smaller than the one I photographed the previous summer. And a residential building. And a workshop and garage of some kind. And a really vintage Peugeot 205! I love that one! A closer look at the apartment building. The lowerContinue reading “Three Form A Group”
The Home Of God’s Shepherd Part III
A swastika and black lives matter? Isn’t that a bit contradicting? A Suviseurat brochure from 1972. It is almost 50 years old. What does the church teach? The room wasn’t very big. It featured an old cupboard. A rather interesing old vinyl in the home full of psalms. Google tells me that it’s Estonian folkContinue reading “The Home Of God’s Shepherd Part III”
The Family Home Part III
It was so dark in the stairway, that I again had to use my headlamp. There, on the floor, was a receipt from a toy store. I couldn’t figure out what had been bought. The first thing upstairs was a small storage space. And by the looks of that wall, collapse has started. Moving fromContinue reading “The Family Home Part III”
Looks Like They Don’t Care Anymore
Another evening, another town. I met a former friend I’ve known for years and we decided to go on an adventure to a nearby suburb. We didn’t even have to look for long, before we found a huge demolition site. This here is a former health care center and nursing home. It is making wayContinue reading “Looks Like They Don’t Care Anymore”
Exploring With A High School Friend Part VI
The living room featured bright colored walls and bookshelves. The bag looks like it’s the coin bag of a bus ticket collector. That might even have been the case, who knows. The mattress has disintegrated. A closer look at the bag. If somebody proves my theory right or wrong, please give a shout. All funContinue reading “Exploring With A High School Friend Part VI”
The Cons Come With Lilies Part II
Next: the back room. I have a belief, that this was originally the apartment of the shop owner, but when the new residential wing was built, this area found other use. A bulletin about the phone numbers of the municipality changing – in 1993. Lovely vintage cupboards. The price tags could be found even here.Continue reading “The Cons Come With Lilies Part II”
