Espoo
Aug 19th, 2008 by Juha Ylitalo
This week’s letter in Mrs Nesbitt’s ABC Wednesday is E. After quick thinking, I decided that E is for Espoo, which is 2nd biggest city (in number of residents) in Finland. It is located to southern part of Finland, right next to Helsinki (capital of Finland) and is considered to be part of Helsinki Metropolitan area. One might think that kind of position would make whole Espoo to be urban place. However Espoo reminds more about collection of villages with one National Park (Nuuksio) than international metropol.
Due to this decentralized structure of Espoo, many people consider that having your own car would be necessary evil for anyone, who lives in Espoo (while you can rely to public transportation within Helsinki), which probably explain, why I selected this particular photograph to present Espoo.

Great post for the letter E. I stayed in Espoo when my family attended the Track and Field Championships in 1983. It was lovely. We stayed in a very rural area and enjoyed it immensly.

I wouldn’t take too much pressure about it. After all we are taking about second biggest city in a European country. I could do pretty good job on placing bunch of US cities on a map, but I would still miss some states capitals, etc.
Loved the black and white aspect. Really captured the feeling!
Thanks so much for being part of ABC Wednesday.
