Back at a familiar location. This is the factory workers’ court featured earlier in photos from 2020 and 2022. This is basically what Tour de Finland 2023 was all about. Visiting a lot of familiar places trying to see, if there were possible entries. There were a total of three buildings. In the first pictureContinue reading “A Small Success”

Tour De Finland 2023
It was the day before midsummer eve. I had packed all my belongings and was ready to go. A five week summer holiday was awaiting, and I had a clear plan. For the first two weeks I would be touring Southwestern and Western Finland all the way up to Oulu. Then I would spend aContinue reading “Tour De Finland 2023”
A Private Assignment Part III
Even the third building of the weekend is familiar from earlier posts. It’s the business and apartment building featured in this gallery. A note stating, that there will be no electricity on June 6th. I doubt there has been any electricity in years. Another year has passed since I last visited. The detail plan isContinue reading “A Private Assignment Part III”
A Private Assignment Part II
The second location of the weekend trip was also a familiar one from the past. It was this old health station built in 1953, enlarged in 1966 and closed in 2015. My previous visit was so brief, that I didn’t even take enough photos for a gallery. This time I wanted to make sure toContinue reading “A Private Assignment Part II”
Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part I
In the early days of June my bosses sent me to yet another business trip to Eastern Finland. I was to write two articles, one about a company and one about a construction project. I started early in the morning and drove my summer car to the company, interviewed the CEO and continued to theContinue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part I”
When Tiktok Came To Town Part V
I bought what I needed to. Before heading home I decided to drive out to check on a location, which had looked interesting, when I had passed it on my previous adventure with a friend. Interesting? Indeed. Promising? Most definitely. But it never fulfilled its promise. I check these locations around once a year, andContinue reading “When Tiktok Came To Town Part V”
When Tiktok Came To Town Part IV
After exploring the two waterworks’ staff houses, I headed west. I needed to buy something for my car and all the most accessible places to do that were outside Helsinki. On my way to the store I decided to check, whether anything had happened with this old and long since abandoned farm I had discoveredContinue reading “When Tiktok Came To Town Part IV”
When Tiktok Came To Town Part III
My cousin had only told me about the row house. The information I had gotten didn’t include the block of flats next to it. Their location was so strange and their architecture so identical, that it was almost immediately certain, that even these had something to do with the water purification plant. Vandalism was extensive,Continue reading “When Tiktok Came To Town Part III”
When Tiktok Came To Town Part II
The cupboard contained different solutions to treating wood. Apparently the resident had a hobby – or just wanted to keep their terrace in shape. I think the answer is more on the hobby side. A second bathroom. What luxury! The apartments really were large for being staff apartments. The small cloakroom. And so I amContinue reading “When Tiktok Came To Town Part II”
When Tiktok Came To Town Part I
In the early 2020’s Tiktok became popular in Finland. I’m such a boomer, that I have stuck to Instagram and haven’t even become a Snapchat native. Many of my friends, however became active tiktokers. Whenever they encountered urbex-related content in the app, they often started giving me tips. This one came from my cousin, whoContinue reading “When Tiktok Came To Town Part I”
