Another random roadside find, which looks like a former village store in a very bad condition. Well, very bad was pretty much of an understatement. It looks like the frame of the building has collapsed near the door. The facade is so twisted, that the window has fallen off the frame. Surely this building can’tContinue reading “There’s More To Some Than Others”

A Selection From The Past Part IV
A broken record? Lovely vintage shelf paper. There was one more apartment at the end of the corridor. This one was smaller than the previous one, just one room and a kitchen. The card was addressed to the same person, whose English notebook I found in the earlier post. The small kitchen was quite aContinue reading “A Selection From The Past Part IV”
A Selection From The Past Part III
The shelf seen in the previous picture contained school books. Here we have at least material for a Swedish lesson. A sixth grade English notebook. I’ve removed the name, but the owner is alive and well. And how do I know this? Well, wait and see. There was also a Chistmas Greeting card addressed toContinue reading “A Selection From The Past Part III”
A Selection From The Past Part I
Another quiet rural village street somwhere in Finland. And the old village store called Talvikin Valinta (Talvikki’s Selection). This is one of the best known urbex locations in Finland. If you live in the South and have never visited this one, you’re really not an urbexer. Prices of meat and prepared food products. The pricesContinue reading “A Selection From The Past Part I”
Opening Another Season Part III
Moving to the first back room of the building, the one of the children’s store. Looking at things here makes me wonder, if every single door and counter actually is from the very date the place was built. The color of the roof seems to have changed, though. When did they make things like this?Continue reading “Opening Another Season Part III”
Opening Another Season Part II
Our final location of the day was this old building. Back in the days there were similar ones everywhere in Finland. Downstairs there was a business space or two, upstairs there was an apartment or two. I had learned of this place through my dancer friend, who lives nearby. They were wondering, why there wereContinue reading “Opening Another Season Part II”
Too Hot To Handle
The final location of our roadtrip was this small grocery store – or what was remaining of it. I had read in the news that morning, that there had been a fire, which started in the middle of the night, which largely destroyed the store. The news were true. The store wasn’t close to whereContinue reading “Too Hot To Handle”
The Little Red One At The Crossing
Well, well, well, what do we have here! A little red building, which isn’t standing very straight anymore. The layout suggests, that it is a former store of some kind. The door was tightly bolted shut. I would be surprised, if there hadn’t been a storage and loading wing on this side of the buildingContinue reading “The Little Red One At The Crossing”
The Cons Come With Lilies Part I
Walking on the main street of the poor thing revealed almost as many empty business buildings as functioning ones. Most of them were intact and couldn’t be accessed, but then there was this one, which I decided to go have a closer look at. The signs say the same as the paintings on the boardedContinue reading “The Cons Come With Lilies Part I”
Side Effects Of A Sawmill Part II
Dogs are not permitted to the playground. I am not a dog, so I’m allowed to go. This is the former doctor’s residence. It was in the worst condition of all the buildings. According to the sign there has been a congregation home here. A look inside the storage reveals a colorful mess. A bookContinue reading “Side Effects Of A Sawmill Part II”
