A Charred Barn, A Photographer’s Paradise

Black and White photos, Captures from Finland, Photography

I’m still hanging out in the deserted barn in Veklahti, Kirkkonummi, which has been charred for years. Over the weekend, I found out that it’s a protected structure and that a film crew was on site—apparently shooting a war movie. This information was shared with me, though I haven’t verified it myself, but my source is trustworthy! 😀

The place is a photographer’s dream, and I have SO many shots to share! The views are absolutely stunning, with every angle offering something unique to capture. I really like these images, both in black and white and color, as they evoke different moods and feelings. I enjoy how the light streams in, illuminating the scene while shadows adds depth to each shot. Also, all the junk scattered around lets one’s imagination run wild, inspiring countless stories in one’s mind. There’s endless possibilities here that truly fuels creativity. Do you agree with me?

  2. Absolutely! What a captivating description — you’ve beautifully brought the abandoned barn to life through your words alone. The way you observe light, texture, and atmosphere shows a true artist’s eye. I completely agree — such places hold endless creative potential, where every shadow whispers a story and every beam of light unveils a hidden world. Your passion for photography truly shines through! 📸✨

      1. You’re most welcome! Your passion for photography truly shines through in every image — each one tells a story and captures emotion beautifully. Keep sharing your wonderful work; it’s always a joy to see! 📸✨

  3. Yes, so much possibilities for photos within an old charred barn. Its obviously safe to explore in if they have protected it. Very cool they allow people to explore through it. I feel like if this were in Canada, you wouldn’t be allowed to set foot on the property.

  4. The photo is so cool Ritva 😀 I prefer the B&W as it conveys a mood and more atmsphere than the colour.
    You are naughty like me. A sign means nothing but you still have to be very careful

      1. That is a wise move. Danger in nature usually really means danger. People who do graffiti always do dangerous things. Part of the thrill I guess 🙄

  5. Dear Ritva
    Decay is interesting, isn’t it? The modern form of memento mori.
    We prefer your second picture with a little colour

  6. I’m glad you ignored the signs and ropes. I think I would have, too. It’s so rare to get an opportunity to place yourself in such an interesting scene. The photos are wonderful. I agree that the possibilities are endless when thinking of what this room’s story is.
