The following location from my neverending Excel. It is the village store featured here for the first time in photos from 2022. According to the sign in the window, the place is still for sale. No buyers have appeared, though. It looks like even the for sale sign has lost its hope. This end ofContinue reading “The Doors Would Never Open”

The Train Still Doesn’t Stop, But At Least I am inside
So yet another one of the closed railroad stations, which I’ve featured during the previous days. There’s even a train of the latest model of Finnish locomotives passing at this very moment. Like the previous ones, this building was completed in 1886. Passenger traffic ended in 1990, much later than at the others. And indeedContinue reading “The Train Still Doesn’t Stop, But At Least I am inside”
Caught In Crossfire Part IV
That would be the way down, but we’re not going there just yet. Practising the letter F. The blinds are shut. Another dark room with a maze. The ceiling in this room was higher and the windows were different. I suspect, that this has been the assembly hall of the school before the gym wasContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part IV”
Caught In Crossfire Part III
A fireplace up front and a toilet to the left. This has definitely been an apartment back in the days when teachers still lived in schools. Since then it has been something else. Those look like clothes dryers. “Wash hands when you come in the morning”. That’s pretty good advice for schoolkids All kinds ofContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part III”
Caught In Crossfire Part II
The corridor between the old and new wings was fairly primitive. You can’t call the new part beautiful from the insides either, but the use of natural light was nice. Even the toilet has been a shooting range. This looks like the school library. It looks as small and cozy as the entire school. They’veContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part II”
Caught In Crossfire Part I
Back at yet another familiar location. This old elementary school for Swedish speaking kids had stood empty since 2014 waiting for demolition and replacement with a kindergarten. I’ve been looking for a way in twice in 2011 and once in 2022. This is already my fourth attempt. For some strange reason there was a carContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part I”
Still Trainless
The chase for an open railway station continues. Today’s edition has already been featured back in 2022. It seems, that it has been built along the same drawings as the previous one, but has not been enlarged. The station infrastructure is also gone. There’s just the building left. This building is in way better conditionContinue reading “Still Trainless”
The Train Still Wouldn’t Stop
Yet another railway station along the same track as the others. Opened in the 1880’s along with the others, passenger traffic ended in 1983 and the station was entirely closed in 1988. Unlike the others, which still seem to be in a sensible condition, this one is starting to be fairly rotten. No luck hereContinue reading “The Train Still Wouldn’t Stop”
The Crime Scene Has Been Cleared
And on we go to yet another already familiar location. This here is the former railroaders’ apartment house, which was featured for the first time in 2021. Back then there was quite a surprise on the porch. The building’s status seems pretty unchanged. The doors to the porch were open as they were the previousContinue reading “The Crime Scene Has Been Cleared”
A Yearly Pilgrimage
The following location was all too familiar to me and I already knew, that there would be nothing else to find here than what I had already seen. This is what is left of the location where my interest towards the abandoned. It burned down in 2021 just around a month after I had saidContinue reading “A Yearly Pilgrimage”
