The entrance to the side stairway and the smaller side of the ground floor. But that looks like an exit. I’m not leaving yet, am I? Well, surely not. There’s still one more full floor to explore. A lot of antique furniture blocking the way. A view from the balcony. The low wing. I alreadyContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part X”

Not Used What It Was Meant For Part IX
The cupboards have taken a big hit. Books by Mauri Sariola. I’ve never seen them anywhere else than in abandoned buildings. The kitchen with red walls. A VHS called Goose-Matti. Doesn’t look very tempting to me. This looks more like my thing. I even had some of those Topps cards with the stuff I gotContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part IX”

Entering another apartment, where the paint had again taken quite some hits. The bathroom was small. And badly damaged by unauthorized visitors. This apartment was facing the back side of the house. And another kitchen. The radiators have been ripped away, but are still in the building. A small and dark room. That face remindsContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part VIII”

The corridor goes on and on, and all the pipes have been removed. The building really felt like being endlessly long. A school test about the police force in Finland. They’re asking how many policemen there are, and who’s the chief of the Finnish police. Interesting. Another apartment. Looks like this one has been theContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part VII”

A small toilet in the corridor. It looks like the water pipes have been torn away from the floor. Maybe they intended to renovate them but ran out of rescources. A bag to another supermarket. Not a direct competitor to the previous one, though. Another round window. There were several in the building. The cathedralContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part VI”

Moving up the stairs. I wonder, what the lamp has looked like. *name of village* is shit. I’ve censored the name of the village so that it would be a little more difficult to find the location. Obviously it is already too easy. The place is unique in Finland. Well, there you have the firstContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part V”

Again moving through the empty rooms of former apartment. And back to the lobby, which indeed was some kind of a lobby. The cans and the torn down roof actually hint at a renovation having started. For one reason or another it was interrupted. And that has been quite a common story on my explorations.Continue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part IV”

Moving on in the empty rooms of an apartment in the setting evening sun. There were all kinds of ugly tags on the wall, but so far I hadn’t seen a single well made piece. Volvo 740? Reminds me of the BMW-man, who had terrorized an entire old municipal home. This guy just had aContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part III”

This is not what I would have expected. The beautiful, cathedral like space contained a tennis court. And below the green carpet was what I believe is the original wooden floor. I wonder, what the purpose of this space has been during the paint factory years. Well, tennis is an international sport. I wonder whereContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part II”

When exploring the village school in the middle of nowhere a few days earlier, I launched the concept of big catches. They’re places, which I’ve tried to photograph for a long time, or find otherwise extremely interesting. They are often large, have lots to explore and have an interesting history. Being able to explore oneContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part I”
