Returning to the mess in the lobby. It’s now time to explore the other wing of the U. And surprise, surprise, here we have another corridor. The rooms were very similar to the other wing. Pupils had decorated the windows. More pupil made art. The corridor seen to the other direction. It was pretty long.Continue reading “A Weekend Date Part VII”

A Weekend Date Part VI
The break cabinet of workers. My question is, what workers? Behind the door was just another classroom. Poor thing. A small elevator for disabled and injured pupils. Somebody again promises to kill me. Another classroom. I think we are now on the top floor of the school. I wonder what that has been. One textContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part VI”
A Weekend Date Part V
The music classroom. Apparently the door was locked, as this definitely isn’t a music classroom. It isn’t a classroom at all. But this might be one. At least the size of it is large enough to fit a class of pupils. I didn’t know blackboards break like that. Not all superheroes wear capes. An EnglishContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part V”
A Weekend Date Part IV
From the light corridor to dark rooms. There was an open space next to the corridor. Traffic enlightenment. Quite a mess. Some of the stuff actually looks like it doesn’t really belong to a school. Another look at the gym. But how do we get there? The pupils’ entrance. And the entrance forbidden from theContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part IV”
A Weekend Date Part III
It looks like somebody’s been practicing. These windows don’t actually open outside. They’re to the school gym. A mess of cassette tape on the floor. An architecturally interesting skylight window. More windows to the school gym. And my date and exploring buddy. A burned notebook. A cassette of new psalms. The other end of theContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part III”
A Weekend Date Part II
After the disappointment with the dairy processing plant, we next headed to a suburb where I knew was an abandoned school. The friend with whom I visited a local mental asylum a couple of years ago worked near the place and had tipped me about it. Built in 1972 the school was closed in 2011.Continue reading “A Weekend Date Part II”
A Weekend Date Part I
After a month or so, it was time to spend another weekend with my Midsummer date. The plan was essentially the same as during our first encounter: drive around municipalities, photograph abandoned buildings, visit interesting attractions and talk endlessly. As I had already toured the region she was living in, she travelled to the townContinue reading “A Weekend Date Part I”
First Signs Of Vandalism Part II
The third building is also from the 1950’s I believe that it has originally been a staff apartment building. Moving around, checking doors. But finding nothing. The back of the 1980’s part. And the building I believe to be an apartment building. The facade of the main building. There were broken windows even in theContinue reading “First Signs Of Vandalism Part II”
Couldn’t Swing Even If I Wanted To
You only have to take one look at it to know: it’s a village school. This particular one closed down in 2013. The gardener hasn’t done their job in a while. It looks like the swings are still there somewhere. They’re just lost in the jungle. That’s where the waste was taken to. Nature isContinue reading “Couldn’t Swing Even If I Wanted To”
Ruins Of A Business Empire
Well, this looks interesting. This obviously is a former store. The older, wooden part first appears on aerial photos in the early 1950’s, the brick part is from the 1960’s or early 1970’s judging by its looks. According to Google Maps most of the building was empty already back in 2009. There was a fleaContinue reading “Ruins Of A Business Empire”
