An attempt at a window shot. Not one of my best. Again the brick wall looks a bit too good to me. The bricks and the plaster between them look a bit too regular to be from the 1940’s. So I found the elevator. This one has definitely been modernized in the 1970’s, so that’sContinue reading “Evening Walks & Nosey Neighbours Part III”

Evening Walks & Nosey Neighbours Part II
A closer look at one of the drums. Chrome was used in making the skins better suited for leather products, and probably some substance containing it was led to the drums. This also meant that the soil under and around the factory was seriously contaminated. The contamination levels were such, that in fact the authoritiesContinue reading “Evening Walks & Nosey Neighbours Part II”
Evening Walks & Nosey Neighbours Part I
This golden haired beauty is yet another one of the baristas in the café I used to frequent back in the days. I had already been urbexing with two of them, she was the third one. Our location of the day was a former leather factory located next to a railroad. My background research hadContinue reading “Evening Walks & Nosey Neighbours Part I”
Nightmares Gone Sad
So here we are again. This is the place, which sparked my interest towards the abandoned almost 14 years ago. The place, which came to my nightmares every night, which I entered drunk 11 years ago and which became my first ever full exploration 10 years ago. Every now and then I’ve returned, gone in,Continue reading “Nightmares Gone Sad”
So Useless They Actually Bought It Twice
Welcome again to the world of crazy real estate deals. After the story of the mental asylum, which was sold until the new owner realized, that its toilets had been demolished, we tell an even more bizarre story. It seems that these stories are customary to old public buildings, like schools, factories and hospitals. ThisContinue reading “So Useless They Actually Bought It Twice”
I Didn’t Sign Up For This
And so the morning dawns to yet another ridiculous story from real estate business in decaying rural Finnish villages. Ready for it? This is yet another former mental asylum, which became a regional hospital in the 1990’s and started treating even other patients. It was deemed surplus in mid-2010’s. Again the staff apartments of theContinue reading “I Didn’t Sign Up For This”
This One Needed A Bit Of Detective Work
Again one of the beautiful old post-war-era buildings, I so admire. At first I thought it was a residential building, but I found its current state rather strange. It wasn’t too far from the center of a village and it was close to a largish factory. A look around the corner revealed a rather differentContinue reading “This One Needed A Bit Of Detective Work”
Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part IV
Welcome further. As you can see, this room has been green. I just love these window shots, and this place was a perfect one to take them. That’s why I call this the ridiculously photogenic dairy plant. And here’s another room. Now we’re getting to the best shots. Another room. And another one. See already,Continue reading “Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part IV”
Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part III
So, upstairs we go. The walls were colored turquoise and cream, the stairs had also been painted in cream. Most of the paint had peeled away. The staircase had a large, tall window, like most staircases in older buildings. A look back at the mess downstairs. The ceiling was high in the building. That’s whyContinue reading “Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part III”
Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part II
The boiler room was just the first one of the rooms downstairs. There were several more. I can’t help to wonder, why the clothes have been abandoned. They have clearly been left behind long since the place was abandoned, and even seem to be in a very good condition. In addition to the clothes thereContinue reading “Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part II”
