Ok, Helsinki nedwalkies round 1 : random scenes from downtown. Autumn in Finland is the “blink & you’ll miss it” variety so my timing on this trip was solid, the leaf changes have just started at the botanical garden. 🧵

Nyrkkeilijät (The Boxers) statue in Nyrkkeilijänpuisto Park, Hakaniemi, Helsinki, 1930

Serious question: Can you pronounce these place names? Do you speak Finnish ?

Barely and no! 🤣 It’s the most bonkers language on earth! Uralian shenanigans

Töölö Bay, a small inlet in the middle of the city. Leaves are starting to look nice in the surrounding parks

A waterlilly in the reflecting pond at the botanical garden. It’s been rather rainy and gloomy the first few days after I arrived by my magical weather powers I use for walkies finally regained full strength today

Did you run out of diereses writing the name?
