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”

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”
Ridiculously Photogenic Dairy Plant Part I
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”
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”
Cut Short By Bankrupcy Part III
Being on the sawmill area outside working hours is forbidden, the sign says. Too bad I don’t believe in signs. There was a huge field next to the sawmill. On the other side of the field were several storage buildings. The storage buildings were just metal sheds. There was not much to see here. ThereContinue reading “Cut Short By Bankrupcy Part III”
Cut Short By Bankrupcy Part I
On my earlier tours I had spotted a rather large sawmill, which didn’t have any lumber piles on its yard. Instead the yard was slowly turning into a forest. I didn’t have time to go check out the place back then, but as my tour of all Finnish municipalities took me to the neighbouring oneContinue reading “Cut Short By Bankrupcy Part I”
Can You See The Signs?
This is a former leather factory. It was founded in the late 1910’s and its buildings have been built in several phases between the 1940’s and 1960’s. It first declared bankrupcy in 1997 and closed for good in 2003 after which it has been abandoned. This is the prelude for one of the most personalContinue reading “Can You See The Signs?”
