Torp bruk Torp bruk is situated outside Fredrikstad. I don't really know all that much about it, so I'll leave it for now. View all the images Tofteberg This farm at tofteberg shows just what made me fond of abandoned houses to begin with. The place showed every sign of being loved. You could see the pretty details that someone once worked hard on. You could see the century old apple trees and the claystone framing the rhubarb and the flower beds. The door was open, but we didn't go in. It felt rude. Yes the roof was bad, but in a way it seemed like the owners just left the place. View all the images Joyless old farm at Ørmen Most of the farms I've photoed shows signs of love. You can tell that someone once lived here and loved it for a lifetime, - possibly generations. This place was different. It had all the signs of a place that was a production unit rather than a farm, and a place to eat and sleep rather than a place to live. Therefore I tried to capture what little prettyness I could find. View all the images Run down farm at Ørmen When I was little, this was my dream house. It's in the middle of a field, and from the road all you can see is a red roof and lots of green bushes, and it looks like quite the cosy home. On a closer inspection, it's less cosy. I've never been a place this quiet before. The farm next door was also uncomfortably silent and tidy, as if someone was trying really hard to make it seem like someone lived there, though noone did. View all the images Barn at Ørmen This barn has been run down for years, but as they have started to hack away parts of the walls with a chainsaw, probably to keep the fire going through the winter, I thought I should take some photos before it's too late.

View all the images A barn in Borge I have no idea why they stopped using the barn while it was still filled with hay, and I have no idea why they attacked the buildings with a chain saw. Probably for firewood. It was fun to take a look at, though, partly because it looked like a hay-version of children of the corn, where the hay truly had been taking over the place. Partly because it was so utterly abandoned. View all the images House in central Fredrikstad This now demolished house in central Fredrikstad used to be inhabited by two old couples. When the photos were taken, it hadn't been empty for more than a year. It feels strange to remember that this used to be a very neat and tidy home. View all the images Fredrikstad Mek. Verksted These photos are taken at FMV, the old ship building factory in Fredrikstad, Norway, right after they started to tear down the buildings in order to build a new Football Stadium at the location.
