The first thing in this section of the building was a lobby like space. Next was a small kitchen. I wonder, whether it was for staff or patients. Just guessing. But I wonder, could this have been the main dining room of the facility. It was by far the largest open space so far. ThereContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part III”

I Prefer This Over Coffee Part II
“Welcome to Paavo’s cabin”, the sign says. This has probably been a ward for men. I wonder why they have left all these behind. They’re rather expensive. Paavo’s cabin was a full scale mess. Audiobooks from a time before audiobooks were cool. Old furniture. An interesting installation. I have no idea what this has been.Continue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part II”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part I
The small one day road trip with my friends continued. They told me about a new café in a beautifully renovated old mansion, which they wanted to visit. I agreed. But only after reaching its yard I realized, that it would have been our next location anyway. The mansion in question was an old farmContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part I”
Found The Wrong Store
The third location of the day was again one I had found through train windows. It was a former village store with such a bush growing in front of it, that it was only visible to the railroad during wintertime. Imagine my surprise, when I approached through the back, and noticed, that the building wasContinue reading “Found The Wrong Store”
The Tip Paid Off
The following location was a tip from a friend. They had told me about an ordinary one family house located in a good spot between the main city in the area and the suburbs. I didn’t know what to expect, so we headed towards the unknown. And there it was. The color choice and theContinue reading “The Tip Paid Off”
From Many To One
After a long break I returner back to the city where I lived for 10 years. My real reason was dance practise, but as I stayed with a couple of friends, with whom I had explored before, we used our day off to go and try to find new locations. The first one was –Continue reading “From Many To One”
The World’s Slowest Demolition Operation
Time to go and have a look at another familiar location. This here is the former community college, I’ve visited many times before. Demolition started way back in 2020. It was now July 2023, and they still hadn’t managed to tear the three buildings down. In fact compared with these photos from the spring ofContinue reading “The World’s Slowest Demolition Operation”
Stuck Where Last Seen
Moving on deeper North, I next landed to a small town, where a lot of my friends are from. They had gathered there to do a dance performance for local celebrations, I was hired to take the promotional photos of their group and photograph their gig. Well, we did a promotional photo shoot, and theContinue reading “Stuck Where Last Seen”
The Rumors Turned Out To Be True
Another familiar location. This time it’s a building, which I visited back in 2022 after hearing of it from my Tinder match. She told me, that it was a mental asylum, but in my previous post I figured, that it was a municipal home with a ward for the mentally ill. Turns out we bothContinue reading “The Rumors Turned Out To Be True”
A Neverending Village Part III
I hadn’t even reached the center of the village, when I spotted another potential entry. Compared to the two previous cottages, this one looked like it could fulfill modern standards of living. The place was old. But it indeed was much more better preserved and comfortable. The kitchen. The baby crib puzzles me a bit.Continue reading “A Neverending Village Part III”
