| 2. Industrial infiltration |
 |
 |
To see the salt stock from closer range one had to extend the limits of public area, just a little bit. Here we find some unused concrete scrap. |

Nothing helped, the tower was unreachable. On the other hand, looks like there was not too much anything inside it any more. |
 |
From inside the salt stock we discover a large empty space. Notice that the sun is shining in through holes in the concrete. |
 |
Another half of the hall. Outside there was a sign commanding workers to wear a helmet in here, and it felt like a good advise. It was almost scary to walk inside without one. |
 |
A long belt conveyor went from end to end on the roof. This belt continued from the salt stock to the nearby harbour inside a long steel shelter.
An idea to climb up there from the other end of the belt line was intriguing, but infiltrating an active post-9/11 harbour didn't seem like a wise idea. Furthermore, the ladders seemed to be cut from that end also. |
 |
Almost 70 years old concrete. |
 |
Next to the salt stock was a small booth, an industrial summer cabinet also of concrete. Either it was clearly inclined, or everything else around was. |
 |
Seems to have been some kind of discharging station, but quite seriously aged. |
 |
Everything is covered by weird layer of dust and rust, perhaps the presence of sea has its effect. |
 |
On top floor there's a cool cable lift engine. |
 |
The big wheel does not keep on turning. |
 |
Current meter's lovely condition. |
 |
The text "prevents bust" felt weird, but looking closer it turned out to be altered by rust.. |
 |
Containers of more common substances - Vichy from Lahti and Sitruunasooda were identified. |
