It was almost 9pm, and that is the magical time after which alcohol may no longer be sold in stores. Despite having a great day of exploration with several new locations, I was tired and soaking wet. It was so wet and dark, that I had absolutely no hope of photographing anything more that night.Continue reading “The Rain Refused To Give Up, So I Did”

A Neglected Treasure Part II
A large window. And a chair. More chairs. The building had been abandoned for a long time and was in a very bad condition. Another room. And another kitchen. It seems, that there were three apartments downstairs. One in the former post office and two in the apartment section. The paint cans again indicate, thatContinue reading “A Neglected Treasure Part II”
A Neglected Treasure Part I
The first photo of this post is of a dilapidated wooden building. I first thought of it as a house, but it rather seems to be the auxiliary building to another one. Which is here. The building was completed in 1945 to be the home and office of the local rural police chief. The buildingContinue reading “A Neglected Treasure Part I”
Returning To The Factory Village Part II
Entering the second apartment seems to be through the kitchen. And here we are in the living room. The bathroom. This apartment seemed pretty modern when comparing with the collapsed ones. Again looking back towards the better preserved yellow one. The oven. This one looks like the 1980’s. A rather big canister. Looking towards theContinue reading “Returning To The Factory Village Part II”
Returning To The Factory Village Part I
After fully charging my camera and checking a couple of locations, I returned to the factory village, where I photographed the local store earlier that day. By now it was raining for real. This time my aim was to check on the old apartment buildings. The first two were yellow. And locked. It looked prettyContinue reading “Returning To The Factory Village Part I”
The Location Wasn’t Enough
I accidentally stumbled upon this little cutie while roaming the streets of a small town. Broken windows revealed, that it is abandoned. I was a little surprised by this. The place was located in the center of a small town just two blocks away from the church. Clearly it wasn’t enough. An open window. UnfortunatelyContinue reading “The Location Wasn’t Enough”
The Project Doesn’t Seem To Advance
My quest for entering several buildings originally spotted between 2020 and 2023 goes on. This time it’s a former business and apartment building. A detail plan allowing it to be demolished and replaced with a much larger block of flats had by now been in force for at least five years. Yet nothing much seemsContinue reading “The Project Doesn’t Seem To Advance”
Just Another Shut Shack
Before I left town, my local friend tipped me about yet another abandoned building next to the highway southwards. As I was heading that way anyway, it would cost me nothing to have a look. The tips of that friend are usually spot on. Unfortunately this place was well enough shut. Not really sure, whatContinue reading “Just Another Shut Shack”
Not Looking Good For The Yellow House
Right next to the yellow house was this block of flats, which was already doomed. According to detail plan documents it had suffered water damage and would be demolished to make way for a new health care center. This detail plan also revealed the fate of the yellow house. It would also be demolished toContinue reading “Not Looking Good For The Yellow House”
Another Visit To The Yellow House
And here I am again back at a familiar location. This is the yellow house owned by the local town and waiting to be demolished. I last visited the location in 2021, and now I am back for another attempt. Since the previous visit, a book has appeared. “The men’s school, 1964”, the title says.Continue reading “Another Visit To The Yellow House”
