The previous summer I had befriended a young indie artist. She guided me to her former home village and told to look for a former tree house, she used to play in as a kid. Well, didn’t find it so I received a tip about a former municipal pool and sports hall. Originally built inContinue reading “Tree Houses And Sports Venues”

No Entry, No Zucchini
Another familiar location. This here is a former leather factory, which I found back in 2022. During that visit I didn’t gain entry, but I was given zucchinis by the neighbours. I still failed to gain entry. As the neighbours weren’t home, there was no zucchini this time. I had to leave empty handed.
I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part IV
I didn’t bother taking any outside photos of the doctor’s office building. This one is from the small wooden annex in the back. Clearly even it has served as an office. The office opened up to a small corridor. And along the corridor were of course more office rooms. As a new health care centerContinue reading “I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part IV”
I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part III
The top of the stairs. There seemed to even be an attic. The sign says that this is the closed ward. This must be some work place humour, as this has been an office building, not a hospital. The parking lot of the store next door seen through the windows. This was the main reasonContinue reading “I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part III”
I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part II
My former boss has a Midsummer tradition. Yearly their family and a family they know go to my boss’ summerplace to eat, bath sauna, swim and chill. And in the past years we have had an even stranger tradition: I crash in the middle of this tradition. After visiting the town hall, I called themContinue reading “I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part II”
Exploring With A Landlady Part V
The final location in this city. It was originally a small apartment building built in 1947, where workers of the nearby textile mill lived. It originally featured six apartments before being converted into an office building for the textile mill’s personnel department. Since 1993 it has provided working spaces for artists. In bad condition, aContinue reading “Exploring With A Landlady Part V”
Exploring With A Landlady Part IV
After the mass factory we drove to the other side of town to the following endangered landmark. This here is a former textile mill, which served as a center of arts and culture after factory use ended. There was a theatre, rooms for dance practice and workspaces for artists. They were evicted, because this hugeContinue reading “Exploring With A Landlady Part IV”
Exploring With A Landlady Part III
The following location was again a part of important Finnish industrial history. It was the mass production facility of a company producing tiles used for instance in floors, facades and bathrooms. Built in 1913, it is the oldest known building in Finland, which has been made of reinforced concrete. Production in the area ended inContinue reading “Exploring With A Landlady Part III”
Exploring With A Landlady Part II
So, my first location of the day. This is the former sailor school featured previously in photos from 2021, pretty much nothing had changed since then. It was coupled up in the same detail plan suggestion as the previously featured school, and despite again being considered regionally important, was also destined for demolition. Not forContinue reading “Exploring With A Landlady Part II”
Exploring With A Landlady Part I
All the way until the previous spring I had still visited my old home town weekly, although I had moved away for almost four years ago. For the first few years I slept mainly on trains travelling back and forth, the pandemic also caused some loger times, during which I didn’t travel at all. ButContinue reading “Exploring With A Landlady Part I”
