The original ovens were still in the house. These are sought after nowadays. Somebody has tried practising the alphabet. So much for the downstairs. Time to head up. Hopefully there’s more light there. The house has probably been built after the war. Back then there was a shortage of everything, and all spare wood wasContinue reading “A Day After Part II”

A Day After Part I
An old one family house abandoned for at least 10 years.
Status Unchanged
And yet another check up on a familiar location. This here is the 1920’s built teacher apartment building featured earlier here. A year has passed, but the building seems as closed as it was the previous year, when I found it. So let’s just go around and photograph it. Nothing new to discover here, itContinue reading “Status Unchanged”
Another Catch Gone
And yet another catch up on a previously visited location. This time it was the business building I found by accident in 2022. Well, it was located in that gravel pit over there. And photographing it from the opposite direction doesn’t bring the buildings back. They had been demolished in 2022. A pity. This locationContinue reading “Another Catch Gone”
The Pile Is Something New
Yet again I am back at a familiar location. I’ve been to this mental asylum two times now, the previous one being in 2022. As I haven’t found a way in, I am back looking for one. Back then this pile of what looks like large plastic bags wasn’t present. I think somebody has sensedContinue reading “The Pile Is Something New”
A Rotten Beauty Part III
I entered the third apartment through the hole in the wall. Well, it seems that there was also an entrance there. A vintage TV. The apartment looked like somebody had started renovations and then given up. A familiar story. The chimney has changed color several times during the years. The wall looks healthy. Random thrash.Continue reading “A Rotten Beauty Part III”
A Rotten Beauty Part II
Moving on to the second apartment. The old double doors are a beauty. Something has cracked. The hall. The third apartment was locked, but luckily somebody had made a way there. There was some old furniture left in the second apartment. The kitchen. And another photo one step further forward. The apartments would be beautifulContinue reading “A Rotten Beauty Part II”
A Rotten Beauty Part I
During the winter when I was looking for new locations, I found a mention about a large old apartment building and a furniture factory in a small municipality. I just wrote the address down, didn’t even have a look at Google Maps. What awaited me there was a major surprise. An amazing beauty. I meanContinue reading “A Rotten Beauty Part I”
Swiping My Way To The Local Paper Part II
Moving deeper inside the building past a boat engine. There was a way upstairs, where there probably had been apartments, but the downstairs ceiling was in such a bad shape, I decided against going there. Moving towards the former store. All kinds of random stuff was stored there. I think the decision to skip theContinue reading “Swiping My Way To The Local Paper Part II”
Swiping My Way To The Local Paper Part I
The following morning I stopped in the following town. One of my so many Tinder matches featured in this blog was working the summer in the tourist office of her birth town. When I arrived, we had coffee and as her lunch break came, we went to lunch. That was when she casually mentioned, thatContinue reading “Swiping My Way To The Local Paper Part I”
