According to old maps, there had been several buildings behind the box factory office building. Now this was almost all that there was left. Judging by the number, it had originally contained workers’ apartments. It was all open doors, but its condition was so rough, I chose not to go in. It didn’t look muchContinue reading “Unboxing A Factory Part II”

Unboxing A Factory Part I
Dusk was already falling, when I reached an already familiar location. The last time I visited, I didn’t know, what it was, and didn’t find a way in. This time I was at least a bit wiser. This building is a former box factory headquarters. The company moved here from another city in the 1930’sContinue reading “Unboxing A Factory Part I”
The Author’s Villa Part II
Eventually I went to look for another set of stairs from the hall. There I took some shots through the windows. There we have the road running past the house. And there we have a door, which probably hides what I’m looking for. I was right, you know. The stairs were about identical to theContinue reading “The Author’s Villa Part II”
The Author’s Villa Part I
While driving a busy regional road, I spotted something interesting in the woods. And soon I was standing at its gates. A closer look at this small, extremely cute Jugend style villa from the early 20th century. Is that a vintage hoover? And that looks a bit like a former radio. Moving inside. The doorsContinue reading “The Author’s Villa Part I”
Tour De Finland 2022
If you’ve been following me for a longer time, you will probably have realized, what my plan for 2022 was. Surprise, surprise, it was exactly the same as in 2020 – to visit all current and former municipalities in Finland during one summer. Why I wanted so badly to do this, I don’t know. PerhapsContinue reading “Tour De Finland 2022”
My Summer Car Is Really Made Of All These Things Season 3
It was again the time of the year, when I started looking a ride for my adventures. Back in 2020 I bought a 25 year old Volvo 850 with 700 euros and tried to visit every single current and former municipality with it. During the summer the brakes, the engine and gearbox all failed. EventuallyContinue reading “My Summer Car Is Really Made Of All These Things Season 3”
Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part III
A courtyard view of the accommodation building. And of the other wing. The main building was undergoing extensive renovations to become a nursing home. Most of it except for the structure was completely demolished. Let’s just say that it was almost a complete skeleton. Photos from the building during its abandonment can again be foundContinue reading “Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part III”
Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part II
Moving on to yet another room. Here the bed has been turned. Also there is no balcony. This must be the upstairs corridor. The rooms were pretty similar even on this side. Moving on towards the ground floor. The only way to get there was via the stairs in the small lobby we entered through.Continue reading “Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part II”
Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part I
One weekend in mid-April I woke up to a message from a date from more than 10 years back. She was jogging near her home, and had spotted that the doors to a hotel, which I had unsuccessfully tried to photograph a year earlier, were now open. “When are we going”, I asked.“Whenever you want”,Continue reading “Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part I”
Opening Another Season Part III
Moving to the first back room of the building, the one of the children’s store. Looking at things here makes me wonder, if every single door and counter actually is from the very date the place was built. The color of the roof seems to have changed, though. When did they make things like this?Continue reading “Opening Another Season Part III”
