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”

Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part IV
A table. Original use unknown. Gardening gloves and stuff. Everything was left as it was when the garden closed. And even a bag of soil. Wonder, if something would still grow out of that. Another table. A calendar from 1998. There were even cold rooms. And a box of flowers to be protected from theContinue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part IV”
Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part III
The third location of our evening adventure was again a trip I had received from Tinder. My former date and current friend told me that there was an old market garden just next to her grandparent’s home. She gave the coordinates, and off we were again. And there it is. Opened in the late 1940’s,Continue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part III”
Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part VI
Entering the first apartment. The use of wood reminds me of the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. A room with more gym equipment and a bookshelf. A box of 11 cheese blocks. Although I am an avid cheese lover myself, this seems a bit too much. The bookshelf. A lot of nonfiction, it seems. AnContinue reading “Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part VI”
Welcome In
One of the so many lovely, functionalistic co-operative stores probably designed by famous architect Erkki Huttunen and in an awful shape. The co-operative has left ages ago and a private entrepreneur has run the store. It has been located in a more modern building at least since 2008, probably even earlier. The back of theContinue reading “Welcome In”
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”
Ruins Of A Business Empire
Well, this looks interesting. This obviously is a former store. The older, wooden part first appears on aerial photos in the early 1950’s, the brick part is from the 1960’s or early 1970’s judging by its looks. According to Google Maps most of the building was empty already back in 2009. There was a fleaContinue reading “Ruins Of A Business Empire”
Asking The Neighbours For Permission Part II
The house did have a special light. And a lot of unused cables, it seems. Don’t be dark, it says. Let’s see, what the former store holds, then. A lot of empty shelves, it seems. And the special curtains seem to continue in this part of the building. This part of it looks like aContinue reading “Asking The Neighbours For Permission Part II”
Asking The Neighbours For Permission Part I
Another roadside discovery: a village store. Judging by its appearance it has been closed for ages. There was a broken window and the way in was clear. The only issue was a middle aged woman pushing a baby carriage on the highway back and forth. As she wasn’t leaving, I decided to go and talkContinue reading “Asking The Neighbours For Permission Part I”
Found Through Train Windows
An old railway station, my dear summer car Alice and a train. What a setting. But I’m not here to take pictures of my car. That train runs a line, which I still took almost weekly back when this photo was taken. And there was something I had spotted through its windows. And that wasContinue reading “Found Through Train Windows”
