Back at a familiar location. This is the factory workers’ court featured earlier in photos from 2020 and 2022. This is basically what Tour de Finland 2023 was all about. Visiting a lot of familiar places trying to see, if there were possible entries. There were a total of three buildings. In the first pictureContinue reading “A Small Success”

Tour De Finland 2023
It was the day before midsummer eve. I had packed all my belongings and was ready to go. A five week summer holiday was awaiting, and I had a clear plan. For the first two weeks I would be touring Southwestern and Western Finland all the way up to Oulu. Then I would spend aContinue reading “Tour De Finland 2023”
A Private Assignment Part IV
Heading home after the weekend, I decided to go have a look at a location, which I found way back in 2020, but didn’t manage to photograph anything publisheable. This here is a former waterworks built in the 1950’s. It has been closed and partially demolished in the early 2010’s. Through the windows you couldContinue reading “A Private Assignment Part IV”
A Private Assignment Part III
Even the third building of the weekend is familiar from earlier posts. It’s the business and apartment building featured in this gallery. A note stating, that there will be no electricity on June 6th. I doubt there has been any electricity in years. Another year has passed since I last visited. The detail plan isContinue reading “A Private Assignment Part III”
A Private Assignment Part II
The second location of the weekend trip was also a familiar one from the past. It was this old health station built in 1953, enlarged in 1966 and closed in 2015. My previous visit was so brief, that I didn’t even take enough photos for a gallery. This time I wanted to make sure toContinue reading “A Private Assignment Part II”
A Private Assignment Part I
In mid-June that year my friends were throwing a party. They invited us over to celebrate their friendship. The surprise was, that they were getting engaged. This friend of mine had told me, that they had long wanted their talented painter friend to paint them nude. As the friend had unexpectedly decided to quit painting,Continue reading “A Private Assignment Part I”
Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part VI
I said goodbyes to my friend, went back to my hotel, woke up early and did my second interview of the trip. After that I headed home, but not the straightest route. I had heard about some sawmill remains in a small village nearby and decided to take a small detour. In old aerial photosContinue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part VI”
Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part V
You know, sometimes you hear such strange stories, that you have to see them with your own eyes. Back in the very early 20th century a railway was built over the lake Kallavesi in Savonia. In 1932 a road was added next to the railroad. As this was the main (and only) route to theContinue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part V”
Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part IV
A table. Original use unknown. Gardening gloves and stuff. Everything was left as it was when the garden closed. And even a bag of soil. Wonder, if something would still grow out of that. Another table. A calendar from 1998. There were even cold rooms. And a box of flowers to be protected from theContinue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part IV”
Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part III
The third location of our evening adventure was again a trip I had received from Tinder. My former date and current friend told me that there was an old market garden just next to her grandparent’s home. She gave the coordinates, and off we were again. And there it is. Opened in the late 1940’s,Continue reading “Business Took Me To A Friend Again Part III”
