The day hadn’t been the most successful one. We had found no new locations, apart from the few ones on my list. And they were well closed. The sun was already setting, when we reached a regional town and another location on my list. This old co-operative mill was built in 1935 and the bigContinue reading “A Weekend Exploration Date Part III”

A Weekend Exploration Date Part II
Another previously visited location and very similar to the previous one. This one is the earlier featured ironworks staff apartment garrison. As the town owning it didn’t receive permission to tear it down, they decided to fix the worst damage and send the bill to the owner. The law allows that. If you look atContinue reading “A Weekend Exploration Date Part II”
A Weekend Exploration Date Part I
Surprisingly enough I was still dating the same person I did in the previous December. Despite living several hours away, we managed to meet around once a month. As I now had a summer car and would spend the weekends roadtripping, she asked to accompany me. It was easy to say yes. We left westwardsContinue reading “A Weekend Exploration Date Part I”
Unwanted Assistance
A school built in 1964 and closed in 2022 after temporary use ended.
Still Rotting Away
Another familiar location, which I last photographed to a gallery in 2021. These two farm houses are some of the oldest in the town. They have been empty for long and the city is looking for someone to renovate them into business use. So far there have been no volunteers. Maybe because of the badContinue reading “Still Rotting Away”
Finally Got The Yellow House
This here is a familiar view for me. I’ve tried to enter this ordinary yellow house twice, in 2022 and 2023. I’ve managed to reach both the garage and the porch, but not the house itself. The porch door is again open, but there is one more door ahead, which has so far been locked.Continue reading “Finally Got The Yellow House”
Dental Work Done
After exploring the voluntary fire brigade club house, I noticed, that the neighboring house looked pretty abandoned too. There was a way in to the basement, but only to a room with the heating system. A dentist has been working and probably also living here. I couldn’t find any match with that name in theContinue reading “Dental Work Done”
Four Hours Before The Fire
They say, that Finland is the land of a thousand lakes. They also say, that Finland is the land of a thousand associations. This one here is the former headquarters of the local voluntary fire brigade of Tuomarila, Espoo. Voluntary fire brigades are quite literally what the name says they are. They volunteer to putContinue reading “Four Hours Before The Fire”
Another One Just Sitting
My adventures next took me to another school featured earlier. I’ve been here every spring, but here’s a gallery from 2021, which is the only one so far. Apparently I’ve just come here, realized that there’s still no way in and just gone on without taking any photos. And here’s one of the teacher apartmentContinue reading “Another One Just Sitting”
And There It Sits
So I had my new summer car. And I started the season like so many others. With a trip around the capital region checking out on locations I had seen so many times before. This here is the same elementary school featured earlier in 2021 and probably a few more times in lonely photos inContinue reading “And There It Sits”
