The yellow house I spotted on one of my last adventures the previous autumn. Here it is seen from another angle. I began by walking around the building from the back. Here is the garage, which is completely full of random scrap. The chimney and ovens of the building are probably located above that concreteContinue reading “Approach Number Two”

The Villa By The Playground
Another random find by the roadside: an old villa, which has been expanded in the 1950’s or 1960’s. The original part of the building was from the 1910’s. It has served as a kindergarten and as apartments. The door was open. Tempting. This space seems like one of the apartments. The kitchen had a 1990’sContinue reading “The Villa By The Playground”
No More Alone Part II
And suddenly we are in a different kitchen. The old farm house actually contained two apartments. A local paper from 2002. Judging by all the stuff inside this might actually be close to the date of abandonment. Another vintage stove and a small closet. Even a vintage TV could be found. This apartment seemed smaller.Continue reading “No More Alone Part II”
No More Alone Part I
I’ve always said, that you can find many interesting things in villages, where there once has been a railroad and a station. I didn’t know what to look for here, but at least I found something. Decades ago this old farm house stood alone in the area. Now a growing industrial area stands, where itsContinue reading “No More Alone Part I”
The Photographer’s House Part II
A closer look at the typewriter in the living room. I nowadays have a Remington from around the same era in my closet. A portable radio. The fact that this is one of the less advanced electronic devices in this house, is something quite notable. The sauna stove and a second stove used to heatContinue reading “The Photographer’s House Part II”
The Photographer’s House Part I
I know you are already tired of my date stories, but amazingly enough I was once again on a date with a new girl. We had already met once, but I told her about my attempt to visit all current and former municipalities of Finland during one summer, and she was interested in the adventure.Continue reading “The Photographer’s House Part I”
The Beauty In The Woods
Once upon a time there was a big mansion with lots and lots of farmland. And farming the big fields needed a lot of staff. That’s why there also was a need for staff apartments. The mansion was so big, that even a block of flats was built for them, although the location was fairlyContinue reading “The Beauty In The Woods”
A Selection From The Past Part IV
A broken record? Lovely vintage shelf paper. There was one more apartment at the end of the corridor. This one was smaller than the previous one, just one room and a kitchen. The card was addressed to the same person, whose English notebook I found in the earlier post. The small kitchen was quite aContinue reading “A Selection From The Past Part IV”
A Selection From The Past Part III
The shelf seen in the previous picture contained school books. Here we have at least material for a Swedish lesson. A sixth grade English notebook. I’ve removed the name, but the owner is alive and well. And how do I know this? Well, wait and see. There was also a Chistmas Greeting card addressed toContinue reading “A Selection From The Past Part III”
A Selection From The Past Part II
Time hasn’t treated this business very well. See, how the floor tiles have bubbled. There was a small kitchen downstairs. The floor has bubbled even here. An extremely old knitting magazine, probably from the 1980’s. And a crossword magazine from the late 1990’s. A package of kraft paper. An ad for the national village storeContinue reading “A Selection From The Past Part II”
