Visions of Maunula.

I live in Maunula which is a suburb of Helsinki. It takes about 20 minutes to get to my stop on the bus from the centre of Helsinki. I love it here because there are trees everywhere and the people seem like a real community. Right near my apartment is a park and even though all the trees are losing their leaves and looking all yellow and bare, it is still incredibly calming and peaceful, despite the car noise from the freeway. This noise is actually quite handy as I have a fairly poor sense of direction so it helps me find my way out of the wilderness.
Here are a few photos of my area...



This is my street and my number... exciting, huh?


















Cute little bugger...










These are some apartment blocks around the corner from my house. I love the window boxes and the colourful panels at the sides.





This is a very Finnish tree.




























Can't you just feel the serenity?
