4. Summer visit: the power station
colourline

dm-2006aug_pun_putikko27 Log sorter is growing wild so that it's almost beautiful.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko26 The sawmill rises behind the sorter, looking so fine.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko24 When approaching the power station there comes trouble. "warning: tanks" and other strange details tell that the place must be occupied. Actually only the planing mill is.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko28 Many scrap cars, or perhaps project cars?
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko25 Lada with tuning tyres.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko34 This looked a bit suspicious. Should the building be entered at all, even if no-one was around?
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko35 Well, it looked too neat to bail out. So in we go.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko51 The smoke stack is situated several meters away from the power station. There is a truck drivable route between these structures.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko36 Right behind the main entrance of power station stands the boiler, probably unused for decades and its large shutters.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko37 Quite nice. This shutter was cast in Mänttä, G.A. Serlachius' machine workshop.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko39 The power station doesn't look like it was built in the very beginning of 20th century. However, according to the sawmill bible, it was.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko46 A lamp, which would be just great if the bulb wasn't so typical.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko53 Windows to the fuel feeding platform.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko40 Hanomag-Kessel
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko41 Beware of the oven.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko43 Products of Valmet's instrument factory have showed what goes in the process. But there's one thing we didn't find from here: the turbine and generator, bought here from Reposaari, Pori. Something to be cleared out later; were they missing, or were we just blinded by the summer sun?
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko44 Fine details you won't find today..
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko45 Manufacturing plate of Tampella looks also so good.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko47 It's Hanomag again.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko48 The heavy, riveted water tank looks like it was originally a fire tube boiler. Maybe it was later converted to this use?
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko50 This is one the places where vandalism hasn't been, and won't be a problem. Nearest small town is several kilometers away and the area is still partially used. So these walls will stay clean.
dm-2006aug_pun_putikko52 Insulations and a valve. From this place we couldn't get any pumps to the picture! However, there is a slice of a pipe.
