My stroll around the woods, sand dynes, and junk collectors backyard

So I happened to stumble upon some images on my HD, I took some pictures while strolling around the woods a year ago. None of these pics are edited, so everything might not be perfect. Like I said, I was just shooting for fun.

Well shit, I stumbled upon big dunes of sand. Apparently this place used to be a mining-site of some sort. The site is quite big.

I decided to walk pass over the stacks of small rocks and sand to see what's on the other side.

Ooh a big machine, I love big machines

Sadly the hydraulics were crapped out, so no controlling for me.

You can see the amount of rust on the device...

So rusty, I had to use leverage to get it open

Goddamn.
After a while I carried on, and saw a big stack of crap. Apparently someone liked to collect everything... these pics are just a small fraction of what he had collected. Kinda creepy place too, reminded me a bit of Fallout 3. Let the pictures speak for themselves.

Luxury accommodations. I left the place when I realized that he apparently lived there, in a small shack with a mattress and those plastic chairs... He was away though, but I slipped away from there since I didn't want to poke around any more. More pics in a while...
So no loots?
[QUOTE=credesniper;21255051]So no loots?[/QUOTE]
Nope, the briefcase was full of iron pipes, and a bag I found just had some crappy tools.
Not like I would steal anything...
Can you please make the first image into a wallpaper for me? The resolution has to be 1024 x 768. Thanks if you can and they are awesome pictures in my opinion.
Judging by the rock crusher and piles of gravel, I'm going to guess that you found yourself a quarry

Is it really stealing to take from somewhere like that...?
[QUOTE=BrokenSanity;21255179]Is it really stealing to take from somewhere like that...?[/QUOTE]
Like I said, I only later noticed that someone lived there... and if someone lives in a place like that I'll probably get stabbed in the neck by something he has. And not all those things are round and soft.

Terrain looks almost identical to what we have here
Awesome Thanks so much!
I went looking for an Urban Exploration place but came up empty-handed. I did get some nice shots of the swamp behind my house, though (I don't think these deserve another thread).

These are some nice pics. Good thing you didn't get killed by a Finnish wild-man.
i love these threads
Why is the machinery in English? Nice thread, by the way.

That's a really good question.
Where in Finland is this?

Fair enough, gotta watch for dem crazy locals. Especially when the "local" is a scrap yard.

Probably since a warning label stating "A big machine made to move rocks might have the rocks falling out like they are supposed to" is needed only in USA.

I explored a place that looked almost identical to where OP was:
