So welcome yet to another familiar location. This one is the dairy plant converted into a service station in 1959. The previous time I was here, I fell and got my first urbex injury. Now I am back. But as the appearance of the building seems unchanged, I decided not to even leave my car.Continue reading “The Injury Didn’t Prevent Me From Retrying”

A Weekend Date Part I
After a month or so, it was time to spend another weekend with my Midsummer date. The plan was essentially the same as during our first encounter: drive around municipalities, photograph abandoned buildings, visit interesting attractions and talk endlessly. As I had already toured the region she was living in, she travelled to the townContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part I”
My First Urbex Injury
So, here we have another local dairy processing plant built in 1937. It was closed in 1959 and converted to a service station. I don’t know when it closed its doors, but it’s been abandoned for as long as I can remember – even back in 2009 when I still lived in the city nearby.Continue reading “My First Urbex Injury”
Led By An Unusual Guide Part II
At the end of the previous post I said, that this end of the building looks like an apartment. If the previous room was the kitchen, here we have the living room – of someone, who has enjoyed a drink at least every now and then. Oh, they’ve been to the big city! There’s anotherContinue reading “Led By An Unusual Guide Part II”
Led By An Unusual Guide Part I
Back in my last high school year (almost 18 years ago, where does time go), I became friends with a girl, who lived in a rural village some 30 minutes from my home town. Our friendship started, when we began a debate about animal rights on our way to our geography class. We then realizedContinue reading “Led By An Unusual Guide Part I”
An Unexpected Opening Part II
Approaching the older section of the building from this side. And that over there is a clear opening. One look back towards the power station to make sure that nobody sees me. And here we are. After the co-operative store and the hotel this was the third big catch in just a few days. WhatContinue reading “An Unexpected Opening Part II”
An Unexpected Opening Part I
Welcome to the peaceful town of Mikkeli. This building here is a market run by a large dairy co-operative. It sells products needed in milk production as well as dairy products for consumers. But this is not why I am here. And that there is my beautiful summer car, Alice. It is actually missing halfContinue reading “An Unexpected Opening Part I”
Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part IV
Welcome further. As you can see, this room has been green. I just love these window shots, and this place was a perfect one to take them. That’s why I call this the ridiculously photogenic dairy plant. And here’s another room. Now we’re getting to the best shots. Another room. And another one. See already,Continue reading “Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part IV”
Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part II
The boiler room was just the first one of the rooms downstairs. There were several more. I can’t help to wonder, why the clothes have been abandoned. They have clearly been left behind long since the place was abandoned, and even seem to be in a very good condition. In addition to the clothes thereContinue reading “Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part II”
Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part I
When I was 20, my high school friend moved to a small town to study agriculture. I sometimes visited her and spotted a really nice looking, cute, pink, yet definitely abandoned dairy plant. Its doors were sometimes open, but for some reason or another I never stopped to have a closer look. That was 12Continue reading “Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part I”
