Eventually I went to look for another set of stairs from the hall. There I took some shots through the windows. There we have the road running past the house. And there we have a door, which probably hides what I’m looking for. I was right, you know. The stairs were about identical to theContinue reading “The Author’s Villa Part II”

The Author’s Villa Part I
While driving a busy regional road, I spotted something interesting in the woods. And soon I was standing at its gates. A closer look at this small, extremely cute Jugend style villa from the early 20th century. Is that a vintage hoover? And that looks a bit like a former radio. Moving inside. The doorsContinue reading “The Author’s Villa Part I”
Tour De Finland 2022
If you’ve been following me for a longer time, you will probably have realized, what my plan for 2022 was. Surprise, surprise, it was exactly the same as in 2020 – to visit all current and former municipalities in Finland during one summer. Why I wanted so badly to do this, I don’t know. PerhapsContinue reading “Tour De Finland 2022”
Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part III
A courtyard view of the accommodation building. And of the other wing. The main building was undergoing extensive renovations to become a nursing home. Most of it except for the structure was completely demolished. Let’s just say that it was almost a complete skeleton. Photos from the building during its abandonment can again be foundContinue reading “Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part III”
Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part II
Moving on to yet another room. Here the bed has been turned. Also there is no balcony. This must be the upstairs corridor. The rooms were pretty similar even on this side. Moving on towards the ground floor. The only way to get there was via the stairs in the small lobby we entered through.Continue reading “Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part II”
Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse Part I
One weekend in mid-April I woke up to a message from a date from more than 10 years back. She was jogging near her home, and had spotted that the doors to a hotel, which I had unsuccessfully tried to photograph a year earlier, were now open. “When are we going”, I asked.“Whenever you want”,Continue reading “Forgetting The Memory Card Is Not An Excuse 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”
Opening Another Season Part I
Around a day has passed in real life since my last post, but in this blog it has been a long day. After the walk around the one family homes, around five cold and dark months had passed before we arrive to my next adventure in the world of urbex. There were a lot ofContinue reading “Opening Another Season Part I”
A Guide To Karelia Part III
Our next stop was the former secondary school of Outokumpu. Built in 1950 it was enlarged in 1954 and the early 1960’s. It had been abandoned some years ago due to bad condition and was set to be demolished. The local papers said that the school would be demolished during the summer, so I figuredContinue reading “A Guide To Karelia Part III”
