Pozmeat Poznan, Poland

My Polish UE-god Travis hinted me again on quality urban exploring in Poznan. So off we went to figure out the secrets of Pozmeat. As the name states Pozmeat is an old slaughter house/meat factory. It was closed according to this piece of news due to bird-flu and no offers to buy it in 2006. Judging the condition of the factory my gut says it has to have been closed earlier. Or then I'm just plain wrong and the Polish demolition forces are faster than I think. With the presence of bird-flu or (lots of) asbestos I wasn't too exicted on the state of my future well-being. Put that aside and we'll continue to Pozmeat:

The facility reminded me of Finlayson warehouses on more than one occasions. 1st reason of was the large warehouse constructions and second the graffiti that was present every where. The writers have had enough time to make quality graffiti into both of the premises.

One might grasp the feeling of a slaughter house in here...

If one wasn't drinking that much.

From now on end we'll let the pictures do the talking.

Little preview of more Poznan UE

Roll with the pros and you get better results... Update of sunday night UE to come in a matter of days, keep alert.

Polchem factory, Torun Poland

After a considerable hike in the sun we arrived to where Polish chemical crown jewel Polchem (it was closed because it was a hazard to the environment even in Polish standards) once was.

This is what it used to look like:


This is what it looks like now:



So no abandoned factories this time. Well, hazards of the hobby...

Rural Exploration

Today, the GPS navigator took me for an shortcut, or something. At least it was not the shortest way. I really didn't mind. On contrary, often taking a step off of the path, shows you something different, something real.

This time it was this agrar, residental building. Left to stand there alone and abandoned. For a long time.

(Abandoned building, with all the windows intact, rare. ;) )

Halleluja (no hard rock this time)

Easter UE part II/II: Poznan

The easter sunday ended to an unfinished & abandoned (again, why the hell do they even start?) apartment block in Poznan. The block has an interesting past; in the seventies they decided to build one block of flats in the middle of a field. So they started to build and already had finished the sewering, electrical works, windows and outeriors as it was decided not to be used. And there it stands - as the ski jumping tower of Hämeenlinna - an ode to stupidity.

The oddity of the building was the third floor. It was surely something I had never seen before: it was built completely without windows or any holes to the outside world. What the hell is the meaning of this floor? Member T must have a theory, but instead I'd like to know why it was really built. The layout of the floor is the same as in the upper floors. Utterly strange.

(T, I took revenge for the Lonkero picture)

Tulitikkutehdas ja Kolkos, pintapuolisesti

Muutama kuva mestoista ja grafoista, kriitikoille myös ttp:tä tarjolla.

Aikamoinen ruuhka tuntui kohteissa olevan; Parikin porukkaa tuli vastaan. Kuka tunnustaa?

Easter UE part I: Szamotuly

Travis from Opuszczone was kind enough to take me on a trip with him again. So the faithfull Land Rover picked me up on easter sunday, and we were off for new adventures. First we headed to Szamotuly to have a look at an old petrol factory, but it was guarded and we couldn't access it. Instead we continued to an abandoned water tower and an unfinished power station. We had also a look at an abandoned mansion, but someone was already renovating it, so we left it alone.

As usual, I'll let the photos do the talking...

The water tower:




And the power station:
