The spring and my new summer car had made me a much more active urbexer. Perhaps there was something the increasing light, as I also became more active on Tinder. I matched with a nice girl, who was fascinated about my hobbies, and as I was actively exploring locations in and around the capital region,Continue reading “A Perfect Date Doesn’t Exi… Part I”

A Beauty’s Sad End
My final location that day was somewhat strange. It was a large old farm house on the outskirts of the capital region. In old Google Street View Pictures from 2009 it was already clearly abandoned. Plastic was covering its windows and its front door was shut with boards. It soon turned out that the areaContinue reading “A Beauty’s Sad End”
The Fish Finger School Part XV
Back to the lobby again. This is the place, where you can either descend down to the main lobby or go up the split stairs. Another look back towards the main entrance. How many have I managed to take during this visit? My guess is, that I have just managed to find the teachers’ study.Continue reading “The Fish Finger School Part XV”
The Fish Finger School Part XIV
Returning on my own tracks back towards the main stairway. Old biology and calculus books in addition to an energy quiz. An assignment too familiar. The poor pupil had to read a book and answer questions in the role of the main character of this book. I hated assignments like this. The corridor led toContinue reading “The Fish Finger School Part XIV”
The Fish Finger School Part XIII
The left side with the window at the end of the stairs looked more tempting. Like in many other locations, the amount of vandalism declined higher up the building. A look through the window. The main entrance is on the left side of this building. The language house is on the opposite side of theContinue reading “The Fish Finger School Part XIII”
The Fish Finger School Part XII
Finally the main school. This time there were no cars or people on the yard, no teenagers on the lot and no sound of people thrashing things. It was just me and this 1960’s beauty. The main entrance. We had already taken a peek inside the last time, but now I was going to goContinue reading “The Fish Finger School Part XII”
The Fish Finger School Part XI
Wait a second. Isn’t this… … the Language House of the Vantaankoski school seen in a beautiful autumn scenery? Oh yes, it is. Like I said in my previous post, I was tired of letting interesting locations vanish. And as the demolition date of this one got closer and closer, I decided it was timeContinue reading “The Fish Finger School Part XI”
A City Within A City
After my summer car broke down I returned to my former home town, which I had left just a year earlier. Most of what I did there during my stay of one and a half weeks is probably not very interesting to the readers of this blog. After all, this is an urbex diary. SoContinue reading “A City Within A City”
Abort Mission
So you expected things to have gone smoothly with my summer car since the fuel pump replacement? Well, kind of. At least the car was still running. The very same day I got my summer car back from the maintenance, this part fell off. The part was located under the engine to protect it fromContinue reading “Abort Mission”
Rise Like A Phoenix
Just another burnt out ruin? Definitely not. Pekka Heikkinen & co is a more than 100 year old bakery famous for its bread in the town of Kajaani in Northern Finland. The building itself was designed by famous architect Eino Pitkänen, whose works have pretty much made Kajaani the capital of Finnish functionalistic architecture. TheContinue reading “Rise Like A Phoenix”
