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. 🧵

The Tove Jansson park near Uspenski Cathedral. It just got a big revitalization & I’ve not been able to photograph it for two years. She created Moomins, and there’s now a small bronze troll-hippo thingy statue here now too.

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

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

Looks like a painting! Beautiful pic!

I’m really glad you like it

I MAY have new wallpaper? 🙌🏾

Looking across the bay at the Paasitorni (Helsinki Workers' House, 1908). Finns love Art Noveau & you’ll find plenty
