One of the so many lovely, functionalistic co-operative stores probably designed by famous architect Erkki Huttunen and in an awful shape. The co-operative has left ages ago and a private entrepreneur has run the store. It has been located in a more modern building at least since 2008, probably even earlier. The back of theContinue reading “Welcome In”

The Cottage By The Old Highway Part II
A second bookshelf, this time with no furry strangers. Random stuff, what looks like an old sewing machine and a pillow from the 1990’s. A cupboard in one corner of the room. Another bottle of alcohol. There were loads of them here. Nice, flower themed paintings on the wall. And suddenly I’m upstairs in someContinue reading “The Cottage By The Old Highway Part II”
The Cottage By The Old Highway Part I
This looks like an old, manual well. And this looks like the house it has served. And this looks like an open door. The owner’s music collection. And the local newspaper from 2012 indicating the date of abandonment. What looks like an electric chainsaw. Welcome to the kitchen. Luckily the china has stayed intact. TheContinue reading “The Cottage By The Old Highway Part I”
Still Searching For My Urbex Dream
And here I am, back yet at another familiar place. This former dairy processing plant has been my ultimate goal since spotting it back in 2011, when it was still partially in use. Well, it seems, that it is no longer in use. The signs claim, that it is guarded. Well, I don’t think so.Continue reading “Still Searching For My Urbex Dream”
So What Will Happen With It?
I spent a whole lot of time travelling the Åland islands and the Turku Archipelago. I didn’t expect to find anything, I didn’t find anything. My next stop was in a village all too familiar. Our family friend had lived in there back in the early 1990’s, and there was an old school building there,Continue reading “So What Will Happen With It?”
A Gloomy Institution Part XI
Going downstairs in one of the ward buildings. The nerd center. Well, there is another room. The basement of this building really seems like a computer center. I mean, what is this place? A small lobby downstairs. And a sauna downstairs in the building. A floor plan of the building. And another lobby. And anotherContinue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part XI”
A Gloomy Institution Part X
And now we are in a storage looking room with safe curtains. Moving on to the deeper parts of this building. Looks like a cleaning closet in the ward building. “The clothes of the inhabitants will be washed in the ward until the move.” A plastic bed. A lobby in the wards. A very smallContinue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part X”
A Gloomy Institution Part IX
So I am back outside after finishing the main building. This is another auxilary building in the area. When touring the area and comparing it with the previous similar institution I visited, I figured out, that I’d be content with visiting just one of the wards. I thought, that after that, I’d have simply seenContinue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part IX”
A Gloomy Institution Part VIII
Another view of the lobby. A small cupboard housing the institution’s computer servers. There was an old map of the region on the wall. And lots of old computer equipment on the floor. Behind the hatch of the front desk. Christmas greetings from 2004. I can’t recall what I got for Christmas that year. AContinue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part VIII”
A Gloomy Institution Part VII
And so we start another post with another corridor photo. A hospital bed with something, which looks like the contents of a flower pot. And as the victim is here, that is what probably was the case with the previous photo. Another room, which looks like an office. And this probably proves, that it indeedContinue reading “A Gloomy Institution Part VII”
