A typical east Helsinki view

We went today to Jakomäki, a suburb in east Helsinki, known for its forests and marshes (or if not known, it should be).

We had a long walk in the Jakomäki forests, nearby the nature reserve at the Slåttmossen marsh. Due to the big road (nr 7) nearby, it is not so quiet as for example in Nuuksio, but the forest is quite nice, and you almost forget that there is a suburb nearby.

There are several ponds in the area, with clear water in them. This photo shows a panorama view of one of the ponds.
