Scrapyard (part 1), Tampere, Finland


Visited 18.11.2012 by skkye & jonahi. This grey scrapyard has been doing business by selling e-waste and other junk, but after the business has stopped, nobody hasn't been interested in cleaning up the place. On the yard there were mountains of abandoned, rusting scrap, anything from oil barrels to old telephones. As a becoming environmental manager I was quite upset and thought about the probably polluted ground and a small, dirty stream behind the scrapyard. Junk was slowly sinking into it's banks, and I didn't even want to know how much waste it had already swallowed. Sometimes people's ignorance about environment is just depressing.

Inside the building, there was a quite nice little room upstairs with blue-painted, graffiti-covered walls. Somebody had been making waste art there and the room was in good order. I liked that, even though it probably hadn't anything to do with the place's original action.

  1. On täällä sittenki ainakin 1 autiotalo. Käytiin siellä tyttöystävän kanssa yöllä. Harmi kun ei ollu taskulamppua tai kameraa mukana. Pitää varmaan joskus käydä uudestaan.

    1. Jee, kiva kuulla että löytyi! Vanhat asuin- ja teollisuusalueet ja junaratojen varret on myös aika otollisia paikkoja bongata hylättyjä rakennuksia. Mua pelottais kyllä aika paljon mennä yöllä, varsinkin ilman lamppua! :D Me yritetään aina mennä valosaan aikaan, senkin takia silti että saa parempia valokuvia kuin pimeässä salamalla.
