Again my company sent me to my former home town to cover a story. This time it was about a renovation project. An international foundation had spent 6000 euros to purchase an old silo. It was constructed in the 1930’s to store wood chips, which would later be boiled into pulp by a local mill.Continue reading “Combining Business And Pleasure Part I”

A Grand Day Out Part V
While looking for the bus home, I stumbled upon this location. It was a location at the local shopping center. The yard. And the courtyard. The short end of the building. Another shot of the courtyard side. The sandbox. Probably the former main entrance. Rest in peace, Lassi, 2001-2020. This is sad. Rest in peace,Continue reading “A Grand Day Out Part V”
A Grand Day Out Part IV
My next location was an institution for intoxicant abusers. It was set to be demolished to make way for a new nursing home for the homeless. Clearly abandoned and clearly shut off from explorers. Still shut off. I actually tried to find a way to photograph the whole complex, but it was difficult. Let’s tryContinue reading “A Grand Day Out Part IV”
A Grand Day Out Part III
The third location of the day. A former one family house next to an industrial lot. And clearly abandoned, too. The view from the other side revealed the impossibility. The place was well fenced, and the old building was inside the lot. In addition to that there were cameras even in the abandoned building. SoContinue reading “A Grand Day Out Part III”
A Grand Day Out Part II
The second location of the day. And this one I’ve visited before. It’s the 1960’s villa, which I’ve tried to enter two times before. It’s boarded shut. But let’s take a closer look. The place was mostly shut, but there was one small gap inside. There was no bigger gap behind the corner. So theContinue reading “A Grand Day Out Part II”
A Grand Day Out Part I
The autumn was advancing, my urbex season was starting to be over. I collected a group of locations from the same area of the capital region and headed out. The first location was an oldish one family home from a popular area of the city. For some reason the owners allow it to sit abandoned.Continue reading “A Grand Day Out Part I”
Buried Alive
An old villa and a very familiar one. For years I used to take bike trips past it several times a week always admiring it. It had seen better days, and I was feeling a bit sorry for it. The city had put it up for auction the previous year. Since then it had sufferedContinue reading “Buried Alive”
The Apartment Shortage Doesn’t Concern Us Part II
Moving inside the second house. Behind the double decker windows was the kitchen. And this looks like the living room. The hall. I entered through a window, not through the door. The bathroom. Not much is left. The bedroom with one small window uncovered. A cupboard. Moving back towards the living room. And a lookContinue reading “The Apartment Shortage Doesn’t Concern Us Part II”
The Apartment Shortage Doesn’t Concern Us Part I
Welcome to the outskirts of an important university town. Basically there should be no abandoned houses here, as there is a continuing shortage of apartments, especially close to the university. Well, these houses are close to the university, closer than most of the student apartments. And yet they are abandoned, have been at least sinceContinue reading “The Apartment Shortage Doesn’t Concern Us Part I”
Spring Tour In Autumn
As the summer was over, I was also sensing, that my urbex season was starting to be over. To get a few more new locations off my ever growing shortlist, I decided to take a tour around the area to see, if some locations that I had visited earlier would have opened up. The municipalContinue reading “Spring Tour In Autumn”
