The sawmill has been about the only industrial site in nearby here in southwest Pernaja. It shutdown in 1987. After that, the place died totally and only homeless people reside the place nowadays. - Nope, the last one of sentences is all but true. The village of Isnäs was recently in telly as an uncommon example of what happens in Finnish countryside nowadays. Much more people would want to move here than what the place can take, despite the place being in the middle of nowhere, with no jobs in nearby and the nearest similac store about 15 km away. Our all-purpose car was being looked upon strangely by the encountered people driving Merc's, Volvos and Celicas here. After industry left the place, Isnäs has apparently started prospering. Strange things happen..

   Apart from the rich & infamous, the place has also attracted many artistic people to live here. As an evidence of this, one can find strange creations from the anchoring grounds, like a boat made of old power station items and worker booth with a smile face painted to sides, etc.. Well, what comes to exploration: The place is vivid, totally reused. Not a place to explore, except for the outdoor facilities like the old timberyards, which are worth seeing if you happen to be around.

   Probably the coolest thing to see here is the genuine Bolinder steamer totality in the power station, which is restored to the condition where it was about a century ago. It's a museum and open almost daily, but due to the tight time schedule of ours we couldn't wait till next afternoon to see it.

	On the left a fire protection house, then the power station and behind it, the mill.
	The entrance gate area is nostalgic. Unfortunately, activity of the village doesn't end here to the sawmill's gates, in continues beyond.
	DM-feelin'blue(c)-version of the same view.
	>From the backside you see the stack and sawmill. The sawmill is now used in a bit different wood business, storing boats.
	Less light more atmosphere.
	Exterior of the buildings aswell as the whole area has been treated gently. These heaps remain on the side of a driving way.
	Looks like "S7" was a log raft of Isnäs sawmill. It's name greatly resembles the "S2" torpedo boat, which is historically connected to the industrial facility of Peura in Suonenjoki town.
	It's sinking, probably only due to rain and total abandonment. I have to wonder why they want to let it sink here, isn't that illegal for the start.
	More scrap, now on the shore.
	The woodyards are standing and now give shelter to boats, truck carriages etc.
	Here is something interesting..
	Right here lies another relic from the sawmill, a Valmet timber forklift in the heavy series.
	Hell the grab is huge!! Violator chilling on it's palm for size comparison..
	Some kind of scrap crane.
	Here's the boat-house which was mentioned in the intro text.
	A mystery of the trip: The tower. What was it used for? Why is it just here? Who has the power?
	These rifle looking items must be the answer to the mystery. Sure knowledge we don't yet have, but a guess: They sprayed blue strain suppression chemicals on logs from the heights. That's why those hoses hang from the sticks.
