After the green cottage, I headed to the opposite side of the town. A fellow urbexer had tipped me about a location, which possibly contained an old farm. I wasn’t expecting much, but I went to have a look anyway. Turns out they were right. The sign does say private property, but it has takenContinue reading “That Thing Looks Familiar Part I”

You Should Have Left Your Volvo Part II
The lamp in the living room was rather interesting. The decorations looked fairly interesting, too. Basics on the functions of engines. This might indicate that the inhabitant was a mechanic. Looking for this door, the sign asks. This is rather interesting. Sheets, which claim to tell about love. It gets even more intresting. The printContinue reading “You Should Have Left Your Volvo Part II”
You Should Have Left Your Volvo Part I
After a rather interesting evening in a karaoke restaurant in a regional town ended with an older man trying to invite me to his home to smoke weed and probably do something naughty, I drove outside the town to look for a place to camp for the night. That summer I decided to spend myContinue reading “You Should Have Left Your Volvo Part I”
An Enemy Of The Environment
Ready for another history lesson? No? Good. Here it comes. Back in 1927 a new pulp mill was founded in the village of Lievestuore, Laukaa. The location was chosen, as there was timber available and it was cheap to raft it to the location. There was also a railroad running through the village, which madeContinue reading “An Enemy Of The Environment”
Cute Little Cube Part III
There were cards and greetings to all possible holidays upstairs, even the mother’s day. This would indicate, that somebody has grown up in this building. The card is titled to the grandmother. The upstairs hall. An advertisment letter for a lottery. I can recall us getting similar ones in my childhood. Greetings from Aulanko, aContinue reading “Cute Little Cube Part III”
Cute Little Cube Part II
In the corner of the hall was a parasol and a very old fashioned coat rack. Stuffed in the corner was another coat rack. A cupboard under the stairs with lots of glass jars. The other side of the porch. It clearly is later built than the rest of the house. Extremely old magazines. AdsContinue reading “Cute Little Cube Part II”
Cute Little Cube Part I
Hiding in the woods near a busy road was this tiny beauty. What makes it special is its architecture. It is of a functionalistic style common in Finland in the 1930’s and 1940’s, but the style is more common seen in larger buildings, which usually are made of stone and designed by architects. There areContinue reading “Cute Little Cube Part I”
I Never Promised You A Rose Garden
I spent a nice day out in the city of Mikkeli meeting both the friends I went to a mental asylum with the previous summer. We played minigolf (I won), we bowled (I won) and finally went out for drinks and karaoke. Contrary to my usual drinking habits, I stayed sober, as I planned onContinue reading “I Never Promised You A Rose Garden”
Who Knows When I Might Need It Part II
Exploring the kitchen further, I spotted this. A milk carton. And not just any milk carton. This type has been manufactured between 1980 and 1985, so it indeed seems true, that the place has been abandoned in the 1980’s. Somehow I believe parts of this kitchen to be staged. Why would there otherwise be aContinue reading “Who Knows When I Might Need It Part II”
Who Knows When I Might Need It Part I
A new day, another adventure. This time I have found myself in a former station village. The trains haven’t stopped here in years, and this usually means that there’s something to be found. Such as this small house on an overgrown lot. Amazingly enough the door was unlocked. And inside I was greeted with thisContinue reading “Who Knows When I Might Need It Part I”
