... someone´s clever catch: it´s not about the destination...

... but the journey itself! Or at least by train, to Helsinki.

 I keep asking of myself: why am I always heading toward Helsinki? I live in Vesivehmaa, which means I have to spend an hour and a half, first in bus and then in train, to get there. Still I do it every weekend. Why for heaven´s sake? 

The truth is, that there is just something about Helsinki. I don´t know why, but I get a certain funny feeling when the train arrives to the central railway station - when I see all the people hurrying to trains or to the metro station. There is just so much to observe: expressions, gestures, hairstyles, clothes... it always makes me little dizzy, in a good way. I guess I would go crazy in some actually big city like New Yourk, where the central areas are really crowded - Helsinki is of course nothing to be compared with that.

Welcome back, crappy quality! I missed you. The picture still has a nice twist, in a way

My friend Kaisla travelled with me.

It is a park. Unfortunately it is not Piripuisto, although it lies in Kallio, too.

The most beatiful part of the most beautiful capital of the most beautiful country: Kallio <3
And my opinion is quite neutral...

Just look at it! So plain, so grey, yet so beautiful!

... the last verdant moments of Helsinki

 The building showing in this picture is Kiasma, the museum of contemporary art

These photos were taken in front of the Helsinki music centre, in one of the last summery, nearly hot days of August.
An (almost) lonely biker of the picture above somehow makes me feel little sad. It´s feels as if the cyclist was on her way to somewhere no one else would ever visit - a still blooming meadow on the most remote countryside perhaps... To come to think of it, it is rather a silly idea - where would she go in the centre of Helsinki?
And still, it fascinates me. 

This picture I actually like a lot :)

... and finally a whiff of fall (have to admit it - summer IS over)
