The post begins with views from another room. Old accounting documents. Some old furniture has been left behind. A bigger room with more furniture. This is probably where painting has been done. A bed end. Even the cupboards had been “decorated”. Is that an old phone booth or what? The large room seen from theContinue reading “We Met On Video Part III”

We Met On Video Part II
As we were taking the bus to our second planned location, we passed a building with broken windows and graffiti. That’s why we hopped off at the next stop and went to have a better look. Yeah, definitely abandoned. The front of the building showed extensive vandalism. The building was L-shaped. A better look atContinue reading “We Met On Video Part II”
A Traditional Season Start Part III
This here is an earlier featured location. It is the soap factory, which I had already entered and photographed in 2022. Back then I only managed to enter the ground floor, which was a dark and damp place. I returned to see, if I could reach the upper floors this time, because i was fascinatedContinue reading “A Traditional Season Start Part III”
A Traditional Season Start Part I
For more than 10 years I’ve had the tradition of visiting the city I was born in during Easter. I no longer have relatives there, but I have a godson, whose father also is interested in abandoned buildings. He even photographed one for me, when its demolition started. I usually arrive on Thursday and leaveContinue reading “A Traditional Season Start 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 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”
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”
Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part V
A meat guide to using different parts of pork in different recipes. There has been a meat counter in this tiny store back in the days. A view towards the loading dock. Shelves inside the dairy product counter. The price tag of a 2004 Fiat Ducato. More spaces behind the area meant for customers. There’sContinue reading “Driving A Lot But Getting Nowhere Part V”
