Yet another old friend of mine, which I’ve come to visit again hoping for better successes than the previous time. This is the former town hall, which I found two years earlier. It had stood empty for years waiting for demolition, but not much seemed to happen. And unfortunately the buildings seemed as closed asContinue reading “The Town Hall Still In Waiting”

The Cottage By The Old Highway Part II
A second bookshelf, this time with no furry strangers. Random stuff, what looks like an old sewing machine and a pillow from the 1990’s. A cupboard in one corner of the room. Another bottle of alcohol. There were loads of them here. Nice, flower themed paintings on the wall. And suddenly I’m upstairs in someContinue reading “The Cottage By The Old Highway Part II”
The Cottage By The Old Highway Part I
This looks like an old, manual well. And this looks like the house it has served. And this looks like an open door. The owner’s music collection. And the local newspaper from 2012 indicating the date of abandonment. What looks like an electric chainsaw. Welcome to the kitchen. Luckily the china has stayed intact. TheContinue reading “The Cottage By The Old Highway Part I”
The Volunteers Were Careless
Usually I am very careful with locations I am unsure of. If I’m not entirely sure that they are abandoned, I stay away. Of course sometimes I make mistakes, like I did with the abandoned looking one family house, where I encountered an old lady reading in the garden. I had been tipped about thisContinue reading “The Volunteers Were Careless”
A Neverending School Part II
The surprise I promised at the end of the previous post wasn’t a point of entry, which I thought you’d think. It was another building with yet a very, very classy piece of graffiti on its end wall. It was a row house clearly built along with the first phase of the school, which probablyContinue reading “A Neverending School Part II”
The Yearly Check Up Led To Nothing
As I’ve said several times, whenever I can’t enter a location, I mark it up and return to it the following year. And that’s exactly why I’m here. These are the former staff apartments of a former mental asylum featured earlier in here. Sometimes, if nothing has changed since my previous visit, I don’t evenContinue reading “The Yearly Check Up Led To Nothing”
Little, Blue And Still Locked Up
All dates end someday. Mine ended on Sunday evening to a railway station where I left my date to catch a train to pick up her car and return home for a Monday morning at work. I continued visiting different municipalities with the blank area on my map getting smaller every day. There were stillContinue reading “Little, Blue And Still Locked Up”
A Weekend Date Part XII
Instead of going to the back door we went up to the attic. A football board game. I wonder, how that is played. An interesting cage at the back. A forgotten antique chair. Table hockey games, a true Finnish classic. Everybody has played them as a child. A very small cupboard. Finally time to goContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part XII”
A Weekend Date Part X
A sofa. This building has clearly served as apartments after education use ended. Like I already said, would the floor be of some other material, this apartment would be nice. A pretty impractical bathroom. Maximizing the square meters. Poor beer. The bed is still left on the loft. Make sure the door is locked. TheContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part X”
A Weekend Date Part IX
A new location starts with an inside photo, what is this? Those handrail ornaments look like dicks. You’re welcome, what has been seen can not be unseen. But haven’t I seen things like that earlier? That’s quite right. This is the headmaster’s apartment building of the old teacher seminar I visited in 2020. Back thenContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part IX”
