The following location was a tip from a friend. They had told me about an ordinary one family house located in a good spot between the main city in the area and the suburbs. I didn’t know what to expect, so we headed towards the unknown. And there it was. The color choice and theContinue reading “The Tip Paid Off”

From Many To One
After a long break I returner back to the city where I lived for 10 years. My real reason was dance practise, but as I stayed with a couple of friends, with whom I had explored before, we used our day off to go and try to find new locations. The first one was –Continue reading “From Many To One”
A Neverending Village Part III
I hadn’t even reached the center of the village, when I spotted another potential entry. Compared to the two previous cottages, this one looked like it could fulfill modern standards of living. The place was old. But it indeed was much more better preserved and comfortable. The kitchen. The baby crib puzzles me a bit.Continue reading “A Neverending Village Part III”
A Neverending Village Part II
I didn’t have to travel far from the previous location before finding the next one. This one was perhaps a bit newer and in better condition than the previous one, not that it was very spectacular, either. The porch. Plain wood was also very much present here. The other side of the porch featured aContinue reading “A Neverending Village Part II”
A Neverending Village Part I
A friend of mine told me about one of the strangest villages in Finland. It was an extremely long one located by the sides of an almost straight road and continued for dozens of kilometers. The center of the village was 30-40 kilometers from the nearest towns. It had been a rural village and likeContinue reading “A Neverending Village Part I”
Trainspotting Failed
You already know the story, as I’ve told it so many times. I travel a lot by train, and I mean a lot. Until the spring of 2023 I did it weekly, and I accumulated around 60 000 kilometers on the tracks yearly. After that the mileage dramatically decreased, as I stopped going to myContinue reading “Trainspotting Failed”
Yet Again Unchanged
Moving on to the next location, which I have already previously documented. This time it’s about the railway station residential area, I photographed in 2022. Since then two houses have been demolished and several renovated, the one I managed to enter still stands empty. Along with the one abandoned one still standing, which I didn’tContinue reading “Yet Again Unchanged”
The Crime Scene Has Been Cleared
And on we go to yet another already familiar location. This here is the former railroaders’ apartment house, which was featured for the first time in 2021. Back then there was quite a surprise on the porch. The building’s status seems pretty unchanged. The doors to the porch were open as they were the previousContinue reading “The Crime Scene Has Been Cleared”
The Unusual Guides Are Back Part III
The following location was by the same small road where the previous one was located. My friend told me that a clocksmith had lived and worked there. I was a bit sceptical at first. It was actually just a shed. But my friend’s father, who has lived his entire life in the village, confirmed, thatContinue reading “The Unusual Guides Are Back Part III”
The Unusual Guides Are Back Part II
Another van standing in the grass. I can’t recognize its marque or model. But what I can recognize is the car tax sticker from 1996. Back in the 1990’s for a couple of years it was mandatory to wear a sticker indicating that you had paid your annual car tax. It was also mandatory toContinue reading “The Unusual Guides Are Back Part II”
