The Cosmic Photo Challenge

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Buildings of the past.

We don’t have really old buildings here, they have been demolished. And old buildings here are privately owned which makes photographing a bit difficult. This is Lotokan hovi, I tried to translate the name, “hovi” is like “a palace” and Lotokka is the name of the place. A ranch school was established there in 1904 and this is the cowhouse.

The residential building of Lotokan hovi.

Hammaslahti railway station. Trains pass by here, but stopped in 2005 the last time.

Pyhäselkä church since 1928.

Hammaslahti zinc and copper mine 1972-1986. My father was working there and also died there accidentally in 1982.

An old house which has been called a ghost house.
