There has been a second entrance to the gym. It has been covered at some point, but has suffered a violent reopening. A room next to the gym. Notice, how the ceiling is much lower here than in other parts of the building visited so far. Another look at the end of the gym throughContinue reading “Exploring With A Childhood Friend Part II”

Exploring With A Childhood Friend Part I
I would have been content with just seeing the abandoned block of flats, but my friend wanted to go sightseeing. She told me about a very old and very badly damaged school, which she had found while looking for a sightseeing tower. So off we went. And there it is. Originally the first school ofContinue reading “Exploring With A Childhood Friend Part I”
Greeting A Childhood Friend
So I finally got to the place, where I was supposed to be an hour ago. I chose to visit a childhood friend with whom I went to school between 1996 and 2005. She had become a psychiatric nurse, worked at a mental asylum and lived next to a former one. And this means, thatContinue reading “Greeting A Childhood Friend”
90’s Kids Will Know Part II
Like I said in the previous post, we’ll take a closer look at the books in this post. Well, this is a closer look. It doesn’t make anybody any wiser, though. Rowing the river Oulu, says the book. That’s a very familiar river to me. The author even has a street named after him inContinue reading “90’s Kids Will Know Part II”
90’s Kids Will Know Part I
I was already leaving town. I had given my childhood friend a call and told her she could be expecting me to land to surf on her couch in about an hour. But I am already infamous among my friends for always giving too optimistic estimates. Because I always spot something interesting. This time itContinue reading “90’s Kids Will Know Part I”
Final Views Of A School
Another familiar view. Now I’m, of course talking about an elementary school, which I also encountered the previous summer. I couldn’t find a way in, I only took a few external shots. But now I was back. Externally the school looked like it was in a good shape. It had been abandoned because of airContinue reading “Final Views Of A School”
Second Summer, Still No Open Doors
As my tour the previous summer had been so extensive, I had managed to accumulate a comprehensive list of locations, which I wasn’t able to explore the previous summer, but would give them another go. This mental asylum was one of them. As I’ve told its history in a previous post, I won’t go backContinue reading “Second Summer, Still No Open Doors”
In The Middle Of Nowhere Part X
Entering the final apartment I found another small bathroom. Apparently this is a Finnish book for early pupils, as the words have been hyphenated. The story on the left is about kittens, the one on the right about ghost stories. Teeth brushing instructions on the wall of the bathroom. The living room. The curtains andContinue reading “In The Middle Of Nowhere Part X”
In The Middle Of Nowhere Part IX
Another look at the entrance to the basement. I still wasn’t willing to go there, so instead I headed up to have a look at the second floor. The words to a song. It is so old I do not understand the title. However the first line ‘Out of line, the cowards and the crippled’,Continue reading “In The Middle Of Nowhere Part IX”
In The Middle Of Nowhere Part VII
So I’ve reached the top. There probably is a small attic above it with some technical spaces, but that doesn’t interest me now. Once again very strange layouts. A narrow cupboard, which is entered through a very small space. A look down towards the large room from the balcony. The main stairway of the schoolContinue reading “In The Middle Of Nowhere Part VII”
