not too far from
TAIK there is a very pretty neighborhood called
Puu-Käpylä - where some
beautiful wooden houses built in
1920 are still magnificently standing.
Puu-Käpylä in 1920:
✻ from Muistojen Helsingissä
earlier this week I had finally decided to take a closer look at this beautiful historic district - with my
Nikon FM.
my photographs of Puu-Käpylä:

I do not pass by
Puu-Käpylä very often but
I think that such a pretty and unique neighborhood deserves to be photographed.
Ooooo!!!! I love all the colorful houses!

Deleteoh, what a lovely little neighborhood!
ReplyDeletecolourful wooden houses & beautiful flowers sounds just like heaven ♥
it is a lovely neighborhood indeed! people living in that area are very lucky! ;-)
DeleteA nice neighborhood it is, but the pictures are not from Puu-Käpylä. They are from Toukola, which is situated east of Käpylä (and Kumpula), closer to the Vanhankaupunginlahti-bay and Arabia-district. Käpylä, Kumpula and Toukola are all part of the working class wooden house area built in the 20's and 30's.
