As civilized people know, there were time when Finland were just part of Russia (Finland did get it's independence at 1917). Russia did afraid that Germans would try to attack, and these were built in Southern Finland to defend St. Petersburg - obviously world were small even back then, so far these are.

These were built at 1915-1917. I've know them for long time but always think that they must be dull. Now I did check some of them and what the hell; they were really nice time travel beyond almost hundred years! I did think what those soldiers and prisoner's of war did feel far, far, far from home when building these... Anyway these weren't never used, unless maybe in civil war at 1918. There were also bushes that ain't typical to Finnish forests - nice detail that did bring past closer too.

And yes, there will be more traditional stuff below but first...



Still Strong:





For the Ghosts (Spring Morning):





Life Goes On:





Fight Against Time:





Dead and Living Memories:





Once There Were:






After shooting these I did continue my way bit farer. On that area there were lot trenches from same period, but there were also this house which may have even seen that time I think. I've try to catch something from it's soul many times, but not until now I think that maybe, maybe I did get something from it to that B/W photo.



Death of Heart of Home:





Suffering Tree (Death of Home):







And then I did move to... to neighbor.



Forgotten One:





Silent Ways:





Slow Shall Your Death Be:





Back to Old Days:





Old Machinery:





Colours of Oblivion:





Last Car is Gone:







And then to wednesday's last. Yeah, it's again this small hydro power plant in the middle of nowhere.


High Water:





Power of Green:





Forest Takes Over:





Sleeping Machinery:





One Day (That Roof Will Come Down):





It's Art:





The Death of Pike:







-------------------------------------




That's all, folks! Except this last stand of pure idiotism - extra-off-topic-bonus! As you can see, winter did again strike back:

Thanks! I'm really happy of that bonus pic too, winter did offer so small amount snowing, so it feels good to get some photos like that at spring.

Thank you very much, I really am glad if it feels so. I'll take this tonight's last "Jägermeister and Koskenkorva" shot for this comment immediately (and then to bed).

Love the GREEN!!! Whether its green moss or green mold...your captures are alive and lovely.
The broken gauge photo looks like IT IS looking up wondering when the roof will cave in,

Much Admiration for the off topic shot!

Fucking INCREDIBLE work, minun hullu ystäväni.

Here's a reindeer steak and a beer for you.

I can tell that I really did fear that hanging roof, I mean it was even worst than it looks in these pictures.
