You had to be careful when exploring the area. There was a barbed wire fence around some of the buildings, and it wasn’t very visible in the arriving darkness. The white house is the factory headquarters. There was a fairly solid gate, too. However, the barbed wire wasn’t running next to it. So let’s takeContinue reading “Unboxing A Factory Part IV”

Unboxing A Factory Part III
Hiding behind the birches was the third building in the area: the former box factory warehouse. A closer look with no trees obstructing the view. The other side of the building with the old box factory behind it. All the old factory buildings were named after rivers. The headquarters was named Potomac, the warehouse wasContinue reading “Unboxing A Factory Part III”
Unboxing A Factory Part II
According to old maps, there had been several buildings behind the box factory office building. Now this was almost all that there was left. Judging by the number, it had originally contained workers’ apartments. It was all open doors, but its condition was so rough, I chose not to go in. It didn’t look muchContinue reading “Unboxing A Factory Part II”
Unboxing A Factory Part I
Dusk was already falling, when I reached an already familiar location. The last time I visited, I didn’t know, what it was, and didn’t find a way in. This time I was at least a bit wiser. This building is a former box factory headquarters. The company moved here from another city in the 1930’sContinue reading “Unboxing A Factory Part I”
The Author’s Villa Part II
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”
