my obsession for siirtolapuutarhat is growing stronger. since I remembered spotting one in
Oulu a few summers ago - last weekend I decided to finally visit it properly as we were in town staying at Jacopo's grandparents' place. after the disappointing results of the
1980's expired slide film I took at the
siirtolapuutarha in Herttoniemi - I was then looking forward to take some decent photos at
Oulun Siirtolapuutarha instead.
Nikon FM - Fuji Superia 1600:

✻ from the last frames of the same film roll I took to Koitelinkoski.
sure enough the photographs turned out good - my
Nikon FM never fails and the
Fuji Superia 1600 is a great film roll. I have found
Oulun Siirtolapuutarha to be less appealing than the one in Herttoniemi though: most of the houses were too big or too new and the vegetation seem to be scarce and tidier - overall I didn't get the same fascinating
feeling of decadence of Herttoniemi's.
still a few houses were well worth a photograph and a siirtolapuutarha is always worth a visit - don't you think?
Beautiful cottage pictures!
ReplyDeleteSiirtolapuutarha is a lovely thing, we have three of them inTurku: Illoinen, Kupittaa and Peltola.
