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”
Get Your Stuff But Don’t Forget To Explore Part III
The third building on the lot was, what looked like an ordinary house, yet older than the larger house I visited first. Even this porch is slowly falling apart. Suitcase ads. This has definitely been a former kitchen with the old wood stove visible from under the suitcase company cardboard boxes. A room with moreContinue reading “Get Your Stuff But Don’t Forget To Explore Part III”
Get Your Stuff But Don’t Forget To Explore Part II
A picture a bit deeper in the room seen earlier. Here there are a large amount of metallic grills. Looks a bit like shelves to me. A lonely little doll and old newspapers. Another doll. Sparkling wine and a mutilated baby doll. The bottle has probably been left here by later visitors. The must ofContinue reading “Get Your Stuff But Don’t Forget To Explore Part II”
A Central Summer Paradise
I’ve posted several photos of valuable and protected old villas neglected by the city. The city isn’t the same as in the previous stories, but here we have yet another example of the same phenomenon. This building was built in 1913, when the area was still very rural. It was very common for wealthy familiesContinue reading “A Central Summer Paradise”
What A Beautiful Morning Part XI
The entrance to the basement of the burned section didn’t look very tempting. Neither did the entrance to the intact part. For some reason I decided to go have a look. Here we have the boiler room. Now this is interesting. The boiler has been inspected in 1993 due to a boiler change. Even inContinue reading “What A Beautiful Morning Part XI”
What A Beautiful Morning Part VIII
It’s 8.40 am and time for our final location of the morning. The place was located just outside capital region, just some kilometers to be honest. It was located outside a small town center behind a mental asylum closed down in 1999 and converted into apartments. It was called the Chinese Quarter. Or China Hill.Continue reading “What A Beautiful Morning Part VIII”
What A Beautiful Morning Part VII
The house did have an electric stove too. It wasn’t the largest or most modern model. The wallpaper was very old. I kind of like it, though I wouldnt put that on my own walls. I have no idea what that is. The different colors and wallpapers were really not a good match. It’s somewhatContinue reading “What A Beautiful Morning Part VII”
