House In Myras, Picture 1- This quite old house can be spotted from the Lahti freeway and that's exactly what I did with this place. During the summer I kept on looking at this house, peeking in between the trees. I was so sure that all of the windows are smashed and the access is an easy one...wrong, wrong...I couldn't have been more wrong.

- While finally finding the correct road to reach the yard of this house, I noticed that what had seemed like smashed windows, while looking from the freeway, were actually a boarded windows. While looking from the freeway, it looked like there were nothing in front of the windows, only darkness inside of the building, but in front of the windows were actually a dark boards. 

- After this disappointing mistake, I started to wander around the house and again the Lady Luck came into the play. A small hole was there, where to crawl into the building. Camera and my bag first and in we go...

- I must admit that this was the first place where I really can say that I felt a bit of claustrophobic feelings. The building being almost completely dark, with only the entrance hall having a bit of light. With only one small exit, I certainly didn't want to stumble into anything or anybody. Also the past weeks, the sun had been shining from the clear sky, meaning that it was hot as in hell, inside of this building. With only small hole in the building, the air inside of the building was also almost next to useless. Smelly, hot and full of dust, sounds like a great place to spend your last days of vacation?

- When I finally got outside, I felt really dizzy and my shirt was completely wet from sweat...

- From the inside, the house was actually quite dull. It had been emptied quite thoroughly. This table and chair were the only bigger items I found. Small items were around, but nothing bigger than these.

- This just shows how dark it was inside of the place. Rest of the pictures are taken with photoflash, but with this picture I'm pointing my flashlight towards the object. Still I needed to illuminate this picture even more with my computer.
