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”

An Autumn Date Part VII
The night was already falling. After exploring the abandoned summer camp, we headed to the old dairy processing plant, which has been my biggest urbex dream since 2011. That was eleven years before this photograph. Despite having recently received large graffitis on the windows, all doors were shut. And the dream remains. The day IContinue reading “An Autumn Date Part VII”
Still Searching For My Urbex Dream
And here I am, back yet at another familiar place. This former dairy processing plant has been my ultimate goal since spotting it back in 2011, when it was still partially in use. Well, it seems, that it is no longer in use. The signs claim, that it is guarded. Well, I don’t think so.Continue reading “Still Searching For My Urbex Dream”
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 III
So, upstairs we go. The walls were colored turquoise and cream, the stairs had also been painted in cream. Most of the paint had peeled away. The staircase had a large, tall window, like most staircases in older buildings. A look back at the mess downstairs. The ceiling was high in the building. That’s whyContinue reading “Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part III”
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”
Work in Progress Part III
Another look at the room with the vintage lamp. The door frames look like they have been torn off and there’s a ladder on the floor. It actually also seems like the floor is not really a floor but just two very large boards piled on top of another. The main stairway of the apartmentsContinue reading “Work in Progress Part III”
Work in Progress Part II
Upstairs we go. This was where a meeting room and employer apartments were located. This, I believe, was the meeting room. And the reason to that is very simple. The reason to my belief was this utterly stupid stairway. It led up from the production area, and ended up in this room without really acnowledgingContinue reading “Work in Progress Part II”
