So, this is the fifth apartment. It had a luxury feature above all the others. The balcony of the house was located here. Someone here has loved fruit lemonade. I googled the brand and it is Lithuanian, which is fairly strange. Unless the last inhabitant was a Lithuanian expat, of course. Directly on the oppositeContinue reading “What A Beautiful Morning Part III”

A Perfect Date Doesn’t Exi… Part IV
A look at the room behind the kitchen, probably a former bedroom, judging by the alarm clock. This room was inaccessible, as there were loads of stuff on the floor. All in all this resembled the previous house quite a lot. Moving on to the living room. After this images start to be a bitContinue reading “A Perfect Date Doesn’t Exi… Part IV”
A Perfect Date Doesn’t Exi… Part III
And so our day trip to find abandoned houses in the capital region continued. We next went looking for a former village store, but it had been demolished not too long ago, as it was just an empty lot. And our final location of the day was in the Northern suburbs of Espoo. It wasContinue reading “A Perfect Date Doesn’t Exi… Part III”
A Perfect Date Doesn’t Exi… Part II
We’ve now walked right through the messy labyrinth underneath the house without finding a way up. Perhaps it’s behind that door. Just the sauna, with the last laundry left drying. And finally in the far end of the basement was the breakthrough. The stairs lead straight to the hall, where the floor was covered inContinue reading “A Perfect Date Doesn’t Exi… Part II”
A Perfect Date Doesn’t Exi… Part I
The spring and my new summer car had made me a much more active urbexer. Perhaps there was something the increasing light, as I also became more active on Tinder. I matched with a nice girl, who was fascinated about my hobbies, and as I was actively exploring locations in and around the capital region,Continue reading “A Perfect Date Doesn’t Exi… Part I”
A Beauty’s Sad End
My final location that day was somewhat strange. It was a large old farm house on the outskirts of the capital region. In old Google Street View Pictures from 2009 it was already clearly abandoned. Plastic was covering its windows and its front door was shut with boards. It soon turned out that the areaContinue reading “A Beauty’s Sad End”
Neighbours Disturbing A Hobby Again
The capital region is a funny place in terms of urban exploration. Land is expensive and there’s a constant lack of apartments. This means, that buildings are often demolished directly after becoming vacant. The window of finding access to them is very narrow. But the funny thing is that here and there there are loadsContinue reading “Neighbours Disturbing A Hobby Again”
A Beauty In The Forest
A day after my sleet filled adventure to former schools and other public buildings, I went on another trip. This time the sun was shining and everything was beautiful again. I next headed to an old villa, which I had found through my connections. It was built in 1915 by a railroad inspector to beContinue reading “A Beauty In The Forest”
Final Moments Captured
Driving on to the next municipality, the next and the next. I was now trying to visit as many of them as possible, and as of this there was very little exploring I could do. But when entering the center of this small municipality, I really couldn’t miss this one. As the municipality was veryContinue reading “Final Moments Captured”
That’s A Lot Of Wood
It was day four of my summer vacation. I had already left the Åland Islands behind and was now zigzaging smaller and smaller roads to collect all municipalities in Finland. I had slept at a parking lot and been so tired, that I hadn’t woken up, when a truck had parked its trailer right behindContinue reading “That’s A Lot Of Wood”
