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”
The Unusual Guides Are Back Part I
At this point my summer tour had taken me to the small rural village, where my friend from high school lived. We had lunch together with their family and after that set sail to new locations they had found for me during the winter. When entering the area, we were first greeted with a lateContinue reading “The Unusual Guides Are Back Part I”
Revealing Something
Once I was able to drive the car again, I headed towards a location, which I discovered during my first 2020 great Tour De Finland. It was the old sawmill area, which remained a mystery to me during the previous visit. The brick built power station had been demolished, but the more mysterious building wasContinue reading “Revealing Something”
A Day After Part II
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”
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”
