Photo of the Day #109: A Window in the Woods


I was visiting Villa Elfvik in Espoo last summer. It is a piece of the old Espoo in the middle of the highly urbanized city. Espoo doesn't seem to have many old places at first glance, but it actually has a centuries long history and was especially influential for the Finnish artists of the romantic era.

Built in 1904 Villa Elfvik isn't really especially old for espoo, but it portrays the past in a concrete way. This window isn't actually of the main building, but of a boat shed some hundreds of meters away from the main environmental education centre.
