1. Hilltop & Office building

	Trip starts from top of the hill, which descends down to the river. Here's one small building, the rest of them are behind fences.
	Because the small building was outside fences and in a bush, graffiti found its way there first.
	Perhaps skateboard ramps in front?
	ARSKA WAS HERE
	Obsession with fire can cause something like this.
	art =)
	Unbroken glass lamp in an environment such as this coud be considered a treasure find. But here it just lied.
	This piece among few others seemed really fresh, and you could still smell the paint.
	Suomirokkia.
	A few switchboxes rusting outside the storage building.
	A group of activists gathered to check the place in 2006. A transformer station was now open.
	Local explorers try to make history by being the first ones dying at the repair yard after its closing.
	Not the first time that we encounter painted leaves in Turku. Some local writer must have this strange habit.
	Going further required going over the fence. Back in 2004 the fence was mostly uncut and the broken parts were greased with stiff waste oil, which left an eternal mark to exploration gear used.
	Random abandoned pipes.
	The office house was totally emptied around 2002, when the repair yard moved to Naantali. They left very little material for later visitors.
	Map covering nearly the whole shipyard. Only the buildings that were used by the repair yard are included, so most of the interesting (abandoned) ones are not on it.
	Looking out one window. It wasn't quite silent in the building like you could expect. Some timer-operated relay kept on snapping frequently in switching room, and the empty passage echoed the sound quite effectively.
	Guarding had ended, and first marks of it could already be seen.
	Two years later the same rooms looked like this.
	One major name responsible for vandalising the place.
	The multi-level office and steam pipeline (?).
	The office and in front of it some kind of auxiliary building, which is of older make.
