Thursday evening, the day before midsummer eve. My five week summer holiday started and I wasn’t going to be in town until early August. I had packed all I needed in my summer car and rented my apartment to a friend, who wanted to spend the summer in the capital region. It was time toContinue reading “Usually People Want Out, I Wanted In”

Treating Bodies, Treating Souls
Well, well, well, what do we have hiding in the bushes here. The text on the wall says community collage, so that’s probably what this is. The building is from the late 1940’s or early 1950’s and has several details very usual to that era. The garage door at the back is an interesting feature.Continue reading “Treating Bodies, Treating Souls”
The Store Remains Closed
Like I’ve said several times, my summers nowadays are travelling to locations I’ve already found and trying to see if they would be open. And such is the story of this old village store in a suburb of a regional center. Nope. Still not open. But I really like the light in this photo. AndContinue reading “The Store Remains Closed”
Wandering In Darkness Part VII
Before moving to the dormitory side, let’s feature a few close ups on things in the apartment, such as this old beauty. And this shelf with all kinds of random magazines and guides from the late 1990’s or early 2000’s. The wallpaper looks a bit strange to me. And so does this cage. The kitchenContinue reading “Wandering In Darkness Part VII”
Wandering In Darkness Part VI
The student apartment corridor, which actually looks more like a dormitory than apartments. There are rooms on both sides of the corridor. And a classic shared shower and bath. One of the dorm rooms. The symmetrical layout indicates to me, that each room had two beds. There also are two beds in the room. AContinue reading “Wandering In Darkness Part VI”
Wandering In Darkness Part IV
Welcome to yet another room with no clues about what it has once been. The toilet door has gotten lost here somehow. More small standard rooms. Safety equipment. A standard larger room. I’ve said it numerous times, but big institutions like this one always look fascinating from the outside, but if all furinture and equipmentContinue reading “Wandering In Darkness Part IV”
Wandering In Darkness Part III
Finally there was some light to photograph. The rooms were still mostly empty, though. The surroundings never were quite inspiring. That looks like it has something to do with Lucia, a very traditional Christmas time festivity in Swedish speaking Finland. The light makes funny shapes. A mirror selfie. Interesting double radiators here. The cold wintersContinue reading “Wandering In Darkness Part III”
Wandering In Darkness Part II
So the corridor continues. I can’t understand why they’ve used Comic Sans on the sign on the door of the customer toilet. No use in pressing the buttons on the doorbell anymore. And no use in trying to apply make up in the customer toilet anymore. After that we are back to the standard roomsContinue reading “Wandering In Darkness Part II”
Wandering In Darkness Part I
Well, well, well, what do we have here? If there’s a forbidden entrance to the building and area, there must be an allowed one. But as I don’t have time to look for it, I’ll just pretend that I don’t speak any of these languages. I do speak, two of them as a native andContinue reading “Wandering In Darkness Part I”
Not A Single Broken Window In Two Years
The more I tour, the more I will visit locations, which I visited during my epic first Tour de Finland and my more chilled second Tour de Finland. They are all locations, which I would have liked to visit, but never got the chance. Some open after several attempts like the co-operative store and blockContinue reading “Not A Single Broken Window In Two Years”
