I arrived in Helsinki on 26 August. For the first five weeks I am staying in Lauttasaari, an island to the west of Helsinki. This is halfway between Helsinki and Helsinki University of Technology, where I am working. It is 10 minutes by bus to Helsinki and 10 minutes to work - longer if I walk.
My apartment is on the 3rd floor of this building.
Trees outside the apartment block.
Park opposite the apartment.
... and the beach is about 200 meters away.
A bird I met on the way to work.
A marina on the east of Lauttasaari.
Some huts near the sea on the south of Lauttasaari

"Flying Carpet" - artwork beside one of the walking tracks.
A ferry on the way to Tallin, Estonia.
Typical apartment block on Lauttasaari.
Hmm ... in bad need of a trim.
Some birch trees just starting to change colour.
Hi Judy. Beautiful pictures! Very nice blog. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI have a to go to Helsinki in a working trip next February to April (brrrrr...) and I wonder if you could give some tips... I need to stay the closer I can to Lauttasaari. To be precise the working place is in Kiviaidankatu 2 B 00210 Helsinki Finland.
If you have the time and the mood to help my email is alfredorates@gmail.com
Thank you very much in advance. Alfredo
