The following location was already out of town, but it was still part of the same trip to my former home town. This time it was about a former service station documented earlier in here. The place looked about the same as it did previously. Going around to see if I can find a pointContinue reading “Celebrating 30’s And Checking On Locations Part IV”

That’s Not Where The Fuel Was Supposed To Be
Now this location here is something I’ve been longing to visit for a long time. As you can see, parts of it have been demolished. A petrol station last operated here some time around the early 2010’s. The building was already closed back then and there were just the pumps and the machines where youContinue reading “That’s Not Where The Fuel Was Supposed To Be”
Too Old, Too Small
After my visit to the mental asylum, I packed my bags. Back when I was planning on buying my summer car and decided to attempt my Tour de Finland again, I asked my boss, if I could spend less time at the office and more time working from distance, as I wanted to spent asContinue reading “Too Old, Too Small”
From Service To Lamps And Electrics Part II
A close up of the grease pit. Looks like a lot of oil down there. “Let the liqueor do the thinking” is something I rather like. Well, well, who is this Interius guy? What I believe to being the original part of the garage. It rather reminds me of this former dairy plant turned intoContinue reading “From Service To Lamps And Electrics Part II”
From Service To Lamps And Electrics Part I
Well, well, well, what do we have in here? This is clearly looking like a former business premises with a residential wing at the back. With some advanced level graffiti artists having practised at the back. This is a level above badly made tags and a level belove masterpieces. Especially the one on the right.Continue reading “From Service To Lamps And Electrics Part I”
Tour De Finland 2021
I had changed jobs the previous autumn. This meant that I still didn’t have a full summer holiday. I got three weeks, and I decided to have them 2+1: two weeks around the largest folk music festival in the country and one week in August, when I was due to perform at a smaller townContinue reading “Tour De Finland 2021”
There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part IV
Oh yes, of course! Back in the days you could actually get service at service stations. The garage was big enough for trucks, which was probably handy, when the earth moving company moved in. The back of the garage. And another version of the first picture, where the light was set so that the outsidesContinue reading “There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part IV”
There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part III
Continuing our journey towards our primary location, our route took us past one of my old discoveries, the former Shell petrol station by the highway. Something had changed, however. The graffiti on the café windows was still there, but it was cut in half. The middle window was broken. There was finally a way in.Continue reading “There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part III”
There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part II
A small storage room. In this area were also the toilets. A lot of stuff has been smashed inside, but they’ve given mercy to the mirror. Another one of these tempting looking chairs. Wonder, if that still works. A sight, which I could have lived without. I am terrified of needles. There were lots ofContinue reading “There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part II”
There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part I
Like I said earlier, I’ve developed a reputation among my friends for touring Finland and visiting abandoned buildings. I call my long roadtrips and explorations simply adventures. And I often get asked the question: when do we go on an adventure? Once again I was asked this question, and I again had something in mind.Continue reading “There Are Two Kinds Of Adventures Part I”
