En riktig svensk klassiker vars album varit nedfruset under många år. Men nu är hungern för stor och först ut ur den digitala mikron är fotografierna från våren och sommaren 2006. Bilderna är fortfarande något frostiga i mitten och kommer att serveras vartefter värmen fördelats tillräckligt.

Pling!

Ny rubrik, nya bilder, ny info. Samma gamla plats.

Ny taggningar: end of the line och have a nice freight.

Fick denna bild av Maria Wallin för en tid sedan men den har legat till sig i väntan på att finna sin rätta plats. För tillfället utgör den hjältebilden på About men tror att den kommer trivas bättre på en avdelning under arbete.

Tack, Maria :)

Det är alltid vår och lagom varmt på Rügen. Det är i alla fall så jag minns det när albumet nu vårstädas.

More of an announcement than an update, but the world needs to know that my good friend Yann is exhibiting photos from no less than eight road trips in Italy. Needless to say the images from all types of abandonments are striking in that Yann kind of way. It will be a trip even for us who's been stuck here in the north.

See Yann's Flickr for a taste of what's to come.

The gun powder factory has been updated.

Took thinks a bit too far a bit too quickly. Rolling back some of the recent changes (but not without changes of course) and re-introduced the Enhance mode (as before not visible on mobile). Hopefully I'll manage to stick with this design for a while. Intead of clattering maybe posting new photos or something.

The ol' wire factory has been updated.

The Rawkholm Roll front page got a much needed remake. The albums are still in their original turn-of-century state though, so no worries.

You thunk ASKA was a one-bear operation? Think again. After a nearly a quarter century it's about time to present the makers.

With five visits in one week Kodak Hill rests firmly on top of the “Most Visited Sites in Shortest Time Span” list. First posted on Flickr back in 2007 the first batch of photos have finally made their way here. It generated some very interesting feedback which I'm also adding to the album.

Stockholm, Sweden.

The “Enhance” mode proved successful so now I'm redesigning albums for a fullscreen experience without the extra click. Any regular will know that the transmogrification won't happen overnight.

Update: After some friendly feedback I tweaked the maximum image width to 1600 px.

As per standard winter season means hacking season and this time it's the dusty palaces and dilapidated manor houses of former East Germany which are getting an overhaul.

Gave the ol' airfield a much needed overhaul and added new photos.

I often find it hard to immerse in photos online the way one can at a gallery or when enjoying a photo book. Too many distractions online, I suppose? As an attempt to mend this on ASKA I'm now adding enhanced versions of each album as they're updated. Full screen width, no captions, no borders. Just the photos, in full. (The link to Enhance under each album is hidden on smaller screens.)

Fresh photos from the ever alluring Ångsåg.

Greasing up clunky markup, tuning photos and smoothing out styles. Eventually there might be new albums as well ...

A visit to the last cabin on the left by the Karlit Board Factory.

The author of a thesis on the development of Karlholm Strand used some of my photos (with permission) for skethes of the old board factory in a very creative way.

A trip to the 70s at the heart of the Harz with “more fungi than people” even before it was struck by fire, water damaged and abandoned.

Braunlage, Niedersachsen, Germany.

As days get shorter screen time gets longer and the hacking faster (well ... ) which can only mean one thing – The Great Autumnal Code Cacophony has taken place. Read: reworked the index page, tweaked responsiveness and made the image subtitles visible without having to click on each image.

The wire assembly, abandoned halls and sordid surroundings at the defunct metal works. Corrugated exteriors and spring flowers ahead!

Värmland, Sweden.

A revisit to this classic revealed a barrack filled with funky 70s club deco.

A spring walk with comrade Pavel to see what was left of the last building standing (or leaning, rather) at the Karlit site.

Welcome to the virtual version of the ASKA.nu anniversary exhibition! And yes, there is a photo wall.
