Our second location of the day was familiar to me from an earlier visit to the town. It was a former plywood mill, which I had last visited in 2021. Here it is, and it looks pretty much the same.They’ve completed the new fire station, which is visible in the right corner of the photo.Continue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part II”

Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part II
We only managed to visit one location that night. We planned on waking up early and trekking through a forest to a particularly interesting place with an angry neighbour, but as we slept pretty late and it was raining, we decided to go somewhere else instead. After having breakfast we headed to a nearby townContinue reading “Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part II”
Greeting My Godson Part III
The following location was completely new for me despite having grown up and lived most of my childhood just some kilometers from it. And I found it thanks to my friend and I getting a bit lost in translation. My family spoke Finnish, but I went to school in Swedish all the way from kindergartenContinue reading “Greeting My Godson Part III”
Greeting My Godson Part II
After the child caring institution we decided to try the old dockyard, which we had unsuccessfully tried to enter the previous summer. The gates were still locked, but as the sea was still frozen, we figured that we could walk to the area from the ice. And how right we were. Now there’s nothing betweenContinue reading “Greeting My Godson Part II”
Great Halls And Tire Marks Part VIII
That cupboard door doesn’t look at home here. Maybe it was meant to one of the ship cabins, which were manufactured here. The downstairs of the cubile. Looks like some sort of a workshop. Another door to the dock. A smashed metallic closet. This actually looks like an archive system. But most likely it isContinue reading “Great Halls And Tire Marks Part VIII”
Great Halls And Tire Marks Part VII
Let’s focus on the contents of one of the office cubicles for a change. Instructions on sending and receiving products. This office has probably been where that has been made. Mostly it was a dark and primitive space. A loading sheet. Driving orders of the shipbuilding company. The office cubicle was facing the wall ofContinue reading “Great Halls And Tire Marks Part VII”
Great Halls And Tire Marks Part VI
The other wall of the small office cubicle facing the pipes, which I featured in the previous post. The paint was peeling off the pipes. The pillows are about the only colorful thing in the otherwise dull and grey building. Wonder what’s behind that door. Well, not much. Heading back through the lobby. And headingContinue reading “Great Halls And Tire Marks Part VI”
Great Halls And Tire Marks Part V
So, finally heading up. That looks like an old printer. And I think it was the kind of printer, which could print endlessly long sheets. There was a largish lobby and some office rooms upstairs. The light switches weren’t the easiest of systems. A small room with a window. The only thing behind it wereContinue reading “Great Halls And Tire Marks Part V”
Great Halls And Tire Marks Part IV
So, time to finally see what’s in the office wing. Although the stairs look tempting, I’ll start by exploring the downstairs. This seems like the main entrance of the plant. The view is to the back side of the receptionist’s desk. Time has stopped even here. The downstairs corridor was wide and dark. A toiletContinue reading “Great Halls And Tire Marks Part IV”
Great Halls And Tire Marks Part III
The main entrance and the receptionist’s desk. But let’s just not yet explore this part of the building. The local phone book from 1999. Let’s first see what’s upstairs in the cubicle. Getting closer. A look back towards the ventilation channels and machinery. The upstairs cubicle. There wasn’t much there. Just lots of broken pipes,Continue reading “Great Halls And Tire Marks Part III”
