After the barbecue I continued my journey. And this here is another familiar location. It is the old block of flats built in the middle of nowhere for sawmill workers, which ended into the hands of organized crime. I’ve told its story before here. Despite now looking completely abandoned and overgrown, I still didn’t goContinue reading “Still Scared Of The Criminal Minds”

In Good Care Part VII
Moving behind the row houses to see if I could find a way in through a back door. There are hundreds of doors. Why can’t I find an open one? Somebody still cuts the grass here. Another house. Moving on to the area where the houses for higher ranking hospital staff were. This probably isContinue reading “In Good Care Part VII”
In Good Care Part VI
Welcome back to yet another familiar, yet so far unexplored location. The former mental asylum visited at least in 2021 and 2022. But as soon as I got to the yard, I noticed someone with a bike there. Thinking it was another urban explorer, I went and asked, if she had found a way in.Continue reading “In Good Care Part VI”
In Good Care Part V
The following morning I had breakfast with my friend’s family the long way. We sat in the morning sun on the terrace with no horry having coffee. But eventually it was time to head towards new adventures. This was my first photo, because here I noticed the first difference since my previous visit. Massive pilesContinue reading “In Good Care Part V”
In Good Care Part IV
Some of the pieces on the walls were fairly good. They were in a minority, though. Another look at the ruins. They were later demolished. More homes lurking behind trees. At this point it is impossible to determine, which buildings I’ve already photographed and which I haven’t. Some were in better condition than others. SignsContinue reading “In Good Care Part IV”
In Good Care Part III
My third location that evening was a residential area outside the city center. It had originally consisted of 14 blocks of flats and a sauna building. In 2020 a new detail plan was approved for the area. 10 of the houses were protected, four were allowed to be demolished and replaced with new buildings. TheContinue reading “In Good Care Part III”
In Good Care Part II
Here we have another interesting location, a plague hospital. It was originally built in the 1910’s, but enlarged in the 1950’s to its current, functionalistic look. It became an ordinary hospital in the late 1950’s and was closed in the 1980’s. After that it acted as student apartments until being abandoned in 2009. Nowadays anContinue reading “In Good Care Part II”
In Good Care Part I
I am once again going to reveal a thing about myself. I am very networked. There are very few places in Finland, from which I don’t know people. The people I know, are very good hearted, and often help me out during my trips by providing accommodation or bathrooms. One of my biggest supporters isContinue reading “In Good Care Part I”
The Weather Didn’t Make It A Pleasure
Welcome to yet another familiar location, the community college discovered in 2022. As you can see, the jungle around it has grown thicker since my last visit. And as you can see, it just started raining heavily. A detail. As it was raining, I just did a quick walkaround to see if there was aContinue reading “The Weather Didn’t Make It A Pleasure”
Redeeming
Welcome back to the fibre factory last seen in 2020. While I had been gone, the factory buildings on the other side of the lot, which had suffered fire damage, had received a demolition permit. This side was still standing strong. For obvious reasons I believed, that this side of the complex was still inContinue reading “Redeeming”
