And so we start another post with another corridor photo. A hospital bed with something, which looks like the contents of a flower pot. And as the victim is here, that is what probably was the case with the previous photo. Another room, which looks like an office. And this probably proves, that it indeedContinue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part VII”

A Gloomy Institution Part VI
I ended the previous post with a photo of a door, which said no trespassing. Being subjected to Juha Tapio’s music isn’t too dangerous, though. A classic room with an interesting curtain arrangement and a hospital bed. This might actually be the clinic wing of this institution. Even some paintings at the wall. And something,Continue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part VI”
A Gloomy Institution Part V
Instead of going down to the basement, I’ll just continue along another endless corridor. And along it was another small, dark room. A gate. Interesting. Who do they want to keep out? An interesting room, which looks a bit like a storage. The classic lonely shoe. The laundry department? The endless corridors continue and continue.Continue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part V”
A Gloomy Institution Part IV
The first room by the corridor. No idea, what it was about. And something, which looks like a bathroom. Another small room with a cupboard on the wall. Music and mirrors. A surprising amount of furniture and other stuff in here. A Bible. And more music. More empty rooms. A blue VHS cassette. A forestContinue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part IV”
A Gloomy Institution Part III
A part of a photo from a beauty contest on the floor. The violet thing next to it indicates, that maybe another beauty contest was held here. A small kitchen, which isn’t too old. The red plastic floor probably is original, though. It looks a bit like somebody has emptied a fire extinguisher here. IContinue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part III”
A Gloomy Institution Part II
Behind the kitchen was a wall with a large glass window. And behind it was something, which looked like a garage. Quite a lot of cooking could be done here. The switch controlling the oven is to the left of the picture. Another little office room. Another small dark office. The cold rooms. The mainContinue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part II”
A Gloomy Institution Part I
This 1960’s building doesn’t seem very tempting. Let’s have a look at the information board to see what this is about. The sign has originally said “no-smoking area”. Now it says “helpless area”. The latter is true. This is an institution called as a rehabilitation center in its last years of operation. Its true natureContinue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part I”
A Hidden Gem Part II
Looking back to the direction I came from. There was a similar opening in both ends of the building meaning that the wood simply passed through it. A part of it could also be guided down to the basement, it seems. Back when working in factories was still hard work. Something has been operated fromContinue reading “A Hidden Gem Part II”
A Hidden Gem Part I
While travelling a road, which I had never driven before, my eye specialized in finding abandoned places spotted something. It looked like an abandoned industrial building of some sort. My guess would have been a sawmill, but it wasn’t marked down as a sawmill on old maps. The only way in was through the basement,Continue reading “A Hidden Gem Part I”
Slick As Silk Part III
I guess this is where the main switchboard was located. And you needed quite heavy electronics to operate the factory. In the 1960’s there were 250 mechanical looms in operation. Some of the systems seemed more advanced than others. Some of them were also probably modernized during the almost 50 years of operation. That looksContinue reading “Slick As Silk Part III”
