| Water power station in Siuro, Nokia |
 |
Ismo Alanko sang that behind Nokia there is nothing but forest, but that's not true. There is Siuro, a nice small village and a small waterpower station, which is operational, although old. The place has intrigued us for years, and suddenly in 2006 came a chance to see it from inside. It wasn't typical exploration, but well, getting inside anyway.
 |
Clip from Aamulehti newspaper, 2002 gives a forehand warning - it is not just another power station. |

Siuronkoski seen on one October afternoon. |

Here the village road crosses the stream. On the opposite shore is the local place to be, Koskibaari. DM recommends. |
 |
As you see, here we focus on a very special piece of branch wood. In the distance you may also see the power station. |
 |
The power station has a smoke stack, which is weird enough since it runs with WATER power.. |
 |
Once again we're here in 2006. The power station looks still good. |
 |
Power from the power station- sounds good, let's go and see. |
 |
Not quite what you expect to see inside an old power station, still half active (the part closest to the stream). |

Nila =) There was a lot of stuff inside. It was very uncommon for typical targets. No junk refrigerators, car tyres, televisions, graffiti or beer bottles. See for yourself, no further comments. |
