The surprise I promised at the end of the previous post wasn’t a point of entry, which I thought you’d think. It was another building with yet a very, very classy piece of graffiti on its end wall. It was a row house clearly built along with the first phase of the school, which probablyContinue reading “A Neverending School Part II”

A Neverending School Part I
I was on the outskirts of a large town, when I noticed a huge building complex with huge pieces of graffiti on its walls. It brought me to an immediate stop. Where there’s graffiti, there usually is something to explore. At first I thought it was a factory, but a quick check on old mapsContinue reading “A Neverending School Part I”
A Weekend Date Part XIII
This absolute beauty is the Sinervä primary school in the small municipality of Multia. Back in the late 2010’s the municipality were faced with their secondary school being in a very bad condition. The question was, whether they should demolish or renovate. They chose to demolish and build a new school for all elementary schoolContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part XIII”
A Weekend Date Part XII
Instead of going to the back door we went up to the attic. A football board game. I wonder, how that is played. An interesting cage at the back. A forgotten antique chair. Table hockey games, a true Finnish classic. Everybody has played them as a child. A very small cupboard. Finally time to goContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part XII”
A Weekend Date Part X
A sofa. This building has clearly served as apartments after education use ended. Like I already said, would the floor be of some other material, this apartment would be nice. A pretty impractical bathroom. Maximizing the square meters. Poor beer. The bed is still left on the loft. Make sure the door is locked. TheContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part X”
A Weekend Date Part VIII
We begin the final post from this location with a few close ups. Here’s a book called the Dolphin Summer. No idea what it is about. The title says it all. Historical yearbooks. A vintage telephone. A thruce in Lebanon. This seems pretty timeless considering events in recent years. And finally my favorite part ofContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part VIII”
A Weekend Date Part VII
Returning to the mess in the lobby. It’s now time to explore the other wing of the U. And surprise, surprise, here we have another corridor. The rooms were very similar to the other wing. Pupils had decorated the windows. More pupil made art. The corridor seen to the other direction. It was pretty long.Continue reading “A Weekend Date Part VII”
A Weekend Date Part VI
The break cabinet of workers. My question is, what workers? Behind the door was just another classroom. Poor thing. A small elevator for disabled and injured pupils. Somebody again promises to kill me. Another classroom. I think we are now on the top floor of the school. I wonder what that has been. One textContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part VI”
A Weekend Date Part V
The music classroom. Apparently the door was locked, as this definitely isn’t a music classroom. It isn’t a classroom at all. But this might be one. At least the size of it is large enough to fit a class of pupils. I didn’t know blackboards break like that. Not all superheroes wear capes. An EnglishContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part V”
A Weekend Date Part IV
From the light corridor to dark rooms. There was an open space next to the corridor. Traffic enlightenment. Quite a mess. Some of the stuff actually looks like it doesn’t really belong to a school. Another look at the gym. But how do we get there? The pupils’ entrance. And the entrance forbidden from theContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part IV”
