nuuksio national park I.

it has been very hot lately like it hadn't been in two years at least: it feels like summer is here already. last sunday we decided to visit Nuuksio National Park for the first time ever: I couldn't believe we still hadn't been there in almost three years - being Nuuksio fairly close to Helsinki and reachable by public transports. we first took a train to Espoo and then bus 85 - which left us a 2-km walk to the park: all in all a 2-hour journey that was totally worth it: Nuuksio was every bit as fascinating as I was expecting it to be. we walked the Haukankierros path around the lake Haukkalampi - which took us up and down a few cliffs and through a beautiful forest.

5 prints from my darkroom.
the last photograph is a courtesy of Jacopo.

after graduating I had to empty my studio at the university and storage my darkroom equipment in a friend's. finally last week I rented a van and with Jacopo's help I have brought everything home: since setting up the darkroom in our little bathroom was the only possible solution for me to keep on developing and printing my black and white films - I decided to go for it. yesterday I set it up for the first time: being back in there again had been a bliss - even if it wasn't as spacious as in my studio.

I really enjoyed our sunday in Nuuksio: I will tell you more about it in a second post. there are also some more photographs that I like from this film roll so I will share more prints too!
