When I was 20, my high school friend moved to a small town to study agriculture. I sometimes visited her and spotted a really nice looking, cute, pink, yet definitely abandoned dairy plant. Its doors were sometimes open, but for some reason or another I never stopped to have a closer look. That was 12Continue reading “Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part I”

Final Moments Captured
Driving on to the next municipality, the next and the next. I was now trying to visit as many of them as possible, and as of this there was very little exploring I could do. But when entering the center of this small municipality, I really couldn’t miss this one. As the municipality was veryContinue reading “Final Moments Captured”
Open Fields School
Another beautiful summer day was way on its way of turning into evening. I was driving in a part of the country, where there are very little hills or forest. Instead its open fields everywhere with some farm houses scattered here and there. The road was straight and smooth to drive, when something did seemContinue reading “Open Fields School”
Evolving Business Part II
This side looks more like a storage room than a production room. And this photo also gives some hints about the history of the building. The factory was constructed in 1945, when the Finnish military wanted to replace the lubrication oil of its tanks by oil based on tar. The military ended the use ofContinue reading “Evolving Business Part II”
Evolving Business Part I
While on the road, I got a message from a fellow urbexer asking, if I knew about a tar factory nearby. Of course I didn’t but they gave me instructions how to find it. The place was deep in the bushes, but at the end of the road there indeed seemed to be something. AContinue reading “Evolving Business Part I”
On The Road Again
The following morning at about 10 am I got a call from the workshop. My car was ready for pick up. And a few hours later I was standing in front of this building. If you’ve been following this blog closely, this is an all too familiar story. The building is a mental asylum builtContinue reading “On The Road Again”
Swiping My Way In Part VII
You probably guessed quite right. The only thing I hadn’t yet found was the school gym. There was a healthy amount of mattresses around the place. They could probably have covered the whole floor of the place. The dressing rooms. These weren’t a nice place as a teen. The final lost and found items ofContinue reading “Swiping My Way In Part VII”
Swiping My Way In Part VI
Easels. Loads of them. It is evident, that the stairs led to a former arts classroom. The head made of plaster and some similar unfinished works just confirmed my point even more. There were also a couple of printers and other stuff, which were related to this theme. Paint cans, lots of paint cans. TheContinue reading “Swiping My Way In Part VI”
Swiping My Way In Part V
The contrast to the last photo in the previous post is pretty large. There the class was ready for the lection. Here all pupils have left and taken their chairs and desks with them, only the teacher is ready. Another music classroom. Or judging by the equipment, the band classroom. Back in my primary schoolContinue reading “Swiping My Way In Part V”
Swiping My Way In Part IV
We next moved towards the early 1960’s school building also abandoned. A sports hall had been built behind it not too long ago. The oldest part looks like it was connected to the second part, but it wasn’t. The newer part consisted of two pretty different looking wings. The entrance was straight to a stairway.Continue reading “Swiping My Way In Part IV”
