As we were taking the bus to our second planned location, we passed a building with broken windows and graffiti. That’s why we hopped off at the next stop and went to have a better look. Yeah, definitely abandoned. The front of the building showed extensive vandalism. The building was L-shaped. A better look atContinue reading “We Met On Video Part II”

A Traditional Season Start Part IV
The following location was the suggestion of my godson’s father. It was an old school, which had been used to educate Swedish speaking nurses. Built in the 1960’s, it was enlarged in the 1990’s and abandoned in 2017, when the school moved its operations elsewhere. The newest section of the school was thus in useContinue reading “A Traditional Season Start Part IV”
A Traditional Season Start Part III
This here is an earlier featured location. It is the soap factory, which I had already entered and photographed in 2022. Back then I only managed to enter the ground floor, which was a dark and damp place. I returned to see, if I could reach the upper floors this time, because i was fascinatedContinue reading “A Traditional Season Start Part III”
A Traditional Season Start Part II
The following building was discovered by my friend, when they found the announcement about it on an auction web site. The building had found a new owner recently, but they hadn’t yet done anything about its rotten state. I believe, that there have been two apartments on the ground floor. The owner of one ofContinue reading “A Traditional Season Start Part II”
A Traditional Season Start Part I
For more than 10 years I’ve had the tradition of visiting the city I was born in during Easter. I no longer have relatives there, but I have a godson, whose father also is interested in abandoned buildings. He even photographed one for me, when its demolition started. I usually arrive on Thursday and leaveContinue reading “A Traditional Season Start Part I”
Even December Is Good For Dating
I earlier mentioned, that I had tried to visit my friend while exploring another familiar location. She said, that she was unavailable. Well, that autumn she told me, why. She had broken up the previous day, and just didn’t want to see anybody. We started chatting, we started flirting. And in December that year weContinue reading “Even December Is Good For Dating”
The Conditions Were Finally Right
Welcome to yet another familiar location. This here is the former sawmill, which I first tried to enter in the spring of 2023 and later in the summer of 2023. The first time the issue was the build-up of ice in the collapsed part of the building. The second time it was the thick vegetationContinue reading “The Conditions Were Finally Right”
It Turned Out To Be A Close Call
And yet another familar location we have here. A former farm house last used by artists and abandoned in 2018. The city wanted to demolish, the locals wanted to protect. An all too familiar story. Starting a walkaround to see, if there was a way in. Well, there at least was one to the basement.Continue reading “It Turned Out To Be A Close Call”
Not Looking Like It, But A Church It Is
Welcome to yet another interesting location. This one here is the Jakomäki church in Helsinki. Yes, it doesn’t look like it, but it is a church. Built in 1975 to a new suburb, it was abandoned in 2020 because of water damage. The building was set to be demolished, so of course I arrived toContinue reading “Not Looking Like It, But A Church It Is”
Sometimes Tips From Work Are More Than OK
As I’ve stated before, I work in a media closely related to the construction business. Because of that I meet a lot of people in this branch. They all know about my hobby, and they often provide good tips. And this October afternoon I was going after one of them. An area, which would soonContinue reading “Sometimes Tips From Work Are More Than OK”
