Tapiola and Lammaslampi

Today I visited Tapiola, which is a suburb in Espoo, Finland. It used to be (and maybe still is) that tourists are transported in buses around Tapiola to have a look at the architecture of "the garden city". I lived some years in the area and didn't feel it was anything special, but who am I to tell. In any case, some parts of the suburb are actually not so bad. Here is a photograph from Tapiola showing a place very familiar to the residents and visitors.

Later today we went for a walk around the nearby lake Lammaslampi, where the ice still remains but is getting weak. Today was a bright day, lots of light, and the spring progressed nicely.

Tomorrow it may be that we travel up north a bit. However, it has happened that someone in the family has gotten sick at the last minute, so I'm not quite sure of this yet. But there may be a pause in my blogging here. Or not, this remains to be seen.
