First I did think that this shall wait for something else within... but now after third pint it feels soooo fine idea to publish this already.

Anyway, I've drive by this place few times before, but praised shall November be: quite small gravel road goes by this maybe just five meters away, but most of those are from upward direction, so with leafs this is totally hidden. And with first visit... I didn't notice - I really don't understand why - that there were quite easy way to in (I did notice it from photos back home). So I did have to return just few days after. And it was amazing time machine. Inner roof were partly collapsed, but otherwise it did look like "if you just add incoming pipe and do basic maintenance it would be working again". But I let photos tell rest...

Closer View:





From Old Days ("this machinery was raise by Hankkija". Hankkija were old Finnish brand, mostly related with farming. It was founded at 1905 and died to bankruptcy at 1992. Today Danish DLA-group owns 60% of it):

So that was this short song at this saturday evening at the side of fourth pint. BUT, there are one more thing still to go - that traditional-irritating-extra-off-topic-extra-bonus-picture! We did have bit snow at father's day, but it was already melting away raising fog... and now it is totally gone.



That's it, cheers!

Sometimes you can find something great in a small package.

Fantastic!

Yes, I totally agree. Size ain't only thing (so they lie).

Excellent work, as always. I have a particular thing for small hydro plants, and this one in particular looks like a beauty. And your bonus shot is completely gorgeous!

I also love those, and this one is probably my best find this far, so amazingly untouched. I did actually start think immediately, how lovely place it would be if used as summer cottage... Would probably need only total roof fix and one window and it would be there; I would even let that old machinery rest there, they are piece of art I think. Would be so damned nice to listen that small river flow... but these are just dreams.

Keep your dreams! It WOULD be nice to listen to the bubbling brook late at night... like a good song that puts you to sleep Right now it looks like its partially covered with ice....Not so good,,,and, it looks like you were almost standing in it to get this lovely shot.

The last pic looks soooo cold it makes me have chills down my spine. I think its cold when it hits 39 here...LOL

Yes, I'm stupid enough to keep dreaming.

And hey, it really was warm, just 0 celsius, not cold at all.
