As I started driving my new summer car home, I was still getting used to its quirks such as the broken fuel gauge. I fixed this issue by writing every single refuelling stop to a notebook adding the odometer reading next to it. I figured out that I could stay safe by calculating the consumptionContinue reading “Barely Standing But Still Explorable”

My Summer Car Is Really Made Of All These Things Season 5
As April was ending, it was again time to start looking for a new summer car. In 2020 I had an old Volvo 850 called Siiri, which was just like my first ever car, in 2021 I rented Egon, a Volvo 960 from my friend. In 2022 and 2023 I drove Alice, a Volvo 940,Continue reading “My Summer Car Is Really Made Of All These Things Season 5”
We Met On Video Part VI
And here is the final location of the day. This rather original house has most likely been built in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s. When I first visited in 2019 the two Range Rovers seemed intact. Now glasses have been broken and parts have gone missing. Trying to find a way in through theContinue reading “We Met On Video Part VI”
We Met On Video Part V
After the randomly found workshop and office building we took the next bus and rode to our main location. A street in the suburbs. There are two abandoned buildings on the same stretch of road on the popular area. Both are large one family houses. Apparently one is the childhood home of their current owner,Continue reading “We Met On Video Part V”
We Met On Video Part IV
The upstairs again featured a corridor. These have probably been the offices of the association. And surprisingly they featured more small rooms. As the blinds were shut, it was pretty dark inside. And all windows were covered in graffiti. Again some pretty pointless stuff. And this mess relates to the previous tag. More graffiti. AnotherContinue reading “We Met On Video Part IV”
We Met On Video Part III
The post begins with views from another room. Old accounting documents. Some old furniture has been left behind. A bigger room with more furniture. This is probably where painting has been done. A bed end. Even the cupboards had been “decorated”. Is that an old phone booth or what? The large room seen from theContinue reading “We Met On Video Part III”
We Met On Video Part II
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”
