This here is another elementary school. But before telling you more about it, let me praise the AI tool of Lightroom a bit. I’ve removed the school’s name, and you wouldn’t notice it if I didn’t tell you. It took about 20 seconds. Such is the power. The school was abandoned in 2018 because ofContinue reading “You Deserve A Better Fate”

Years Go By, Things Stay The Same
As this was the third consecutive summer I spent touring Finland, I had a long list of locations I had previously tried to visit, but hadn’t found a point of entry. My plan was to visit them again and again until I would succeed. And that’s why I found myself in a familiar location onceContinue reading “Years Go By, Things Stay The Same”
You Can’t Be Serious
The evening brought me to another town, fairly colorless, ugly and flat. On one of the best spots of the town, by a lake, right in the heart of it was also its most beautiful building: an old school built in 1950. It looked empty, but so did every school in early June. I GoogledContinue reading “You Can’t Be Serious”
Tour De Finland 2022
If you’ve been following me for a longer time, you will probably have realized, what my plan for 2022 was. Surprise, surprise, it was exactly the same as in 2020 – to visit all current and former municipalities in Finland during one summer. Why I wanted so badly to do this, I don’t know. PerhapsContinue reading “Tour De Finland 2022”

The final location of the day was chosen by me. It was the former elementary school of Jakomäki, which was due to be demolished. And as soon as we got there, we noticed, that demolition had already started. There also seemed to be a kindergarten of some sort in the buildng. We started to lookContinue reading “Dating To Find New Locations Part VII”
Improved My Flexibility Part V
There was a similar lobby downstairs than there was upstairs. The windows had been covered, so it was darker here. The stairs end to a side door. It looks like I climbed the window in vain. The door wasn’t locked. There was a separate stairway to the basement. Again I skipped it. You already knowContinue reading “Improved My Flexibility Part V”
The Sailor School
The party was over, and so was my first period of summer holidays. I spent the final Sunday roaming around the city where I was for the party. I first tried to locate this beauty, but sadly it had been demolished. So I turned my eyes to the old sailor school seen in the firstContinue reading “The Sailor School”
Got Past The Final Boss Part VI
Like I promised, the final post from this location is all about the other buildings and their history. The large block of flats to the right is a former dormitory. It was built in the 1970’s, when the area was starting to be used for shorter teacher training periods. Next we’ll turn our attention toContinue reading “Got Past The Final Boss Part VI”
Got Past The Final Boss Part V
Known as the bird attic, the top floor of one of the wings contained five accommodation rooms and a common room. The rooms were located by a corridor. Almost all doors were open. The first room was a shower and bath. The last renovations had probably been made after 2000, because the room looks toContinue reading “Got Past The Final Boss Part V”

So this is what’s on top of the auditorium: the new gym built in the 1950’s. A more general look on the room. Apparently there was equipment for gymnastics, while the bar and the mirror hint, that even ballet was being danced here at some point. Well, at least the windows are intact here andContinue reading “Got Past The Final Boss Part IV”
