As the Covid pandemic was once again gaining ground, new restrictions were put in place. As nothing was open, the only way to get to go on dates was going outside for walks. I have always been pretty open on Tinder about my urbex hobby, and not once or twice I’ve had someone show meContinue reading “Done With Charity”

Views From A Dying Station
So here I am waiting for a train home at the local railway station. And I suddenly realized, that this was the first and only time when I would wait a train here. Back in the 1960’s somebody in control of the state railroad company got a magnificent idea. Railway stations would no longer beContinue reading “Views From A Dying Station”
Missed Opportunity 2
Another property we discussed with the town’s property manager was located just a block away. But remember, I still hadn’t called him. So I actually stumbled upon this place, when I went to buy some bath foam for my bubble bath that evening. Originally built as a bakery in the 1920’s, it was enlarged severalContinue reading “Missed Opportunity 2”
Missed Opportunity 1
My winter holidays continued with a stay in perhaps the most famous hotel in Finland. I couldn’t have affored it otherwise, but they did have a good covid-deal… Built in 1903, this hotel has been chosen as the most beautiful building in Finland at least twice. But I’m not going to spend my time writingContinue reading “Missed Opportunity 1”
So This Is How You Spend Your Winter Holidays?
Some of you might have wondered, why there are so few photos taken during winter, even though it’s so long in Finland. I hate winters. It’s cold, it’s dark, its usually too dark for photography. Where I lived previously, the sun usually was properly up only between 11 am and 3 pm. Besides I don’tContinue reading “So This Is How You Spend Your Winter Holidays?”

Back then it was my friends driving me, this time around I was to be the chauffeur. My friend, whom I actually had moved to theContinue reading “Moving My Friends The Hard Way”
Was Denied Church Service, Opted To Sin Instead
The very same week I again travelled to another city to catch an abandonment, this time on my own. I had read news about a former chapel in the very center of the city of Lahti. It was used by the church until the mid-90’s when it became a daycare center. Abandoned in 2015 dueContinue reading “Was Denied Church Service, Opted To Sin Instead”
The Girl From The Ironworks
As I now had a new camera, I was extremely eager to test it. It was in the middle of the winter and I had no car. That’s why I chose to try to shoot a model for the first time in years with the hopes of finding a chauffeur that way. January 6th isContinue reading “The Girl From The Ironworks”
Mystery Camp
During that visit to my home town I realized that the unthinkable had happened. My godson’s father had become somewhat of an urban explorer himself. He had been taking a walk outside town with their kids and dog and told me that there was something he wanted to show me. So we loaded me andContinue reading “Mystery Camp”
The Most Disputed Lot In Town
My godson was turning six, so it was time for my yearly visit to my old home town in mid-November. As usual the weather was cold, windy and didn’t really encourage to outside activities. Yet we always went somewhere with the family. And this time it was to be a very disputed place right inContinue reading “The Most Disputed Lot In Town”
