Helsinki architecture and aesthetics

🇫🇮 Suomi 🇬🇧 English

Original photography documenting Helsinki’s architecture, urban aesthetics, and evolving cityscapes. The site includes both original and curated works that explore the visual identity of cities — from historic structures to contemporary urban design.

On Pinterest @kari_haukka, I publish original and curated photographs from various cities — focusing on urban nature, architecture, and fine art.

On X (formerly Twitter) @karihaukka, I share painting references that complement and extend the visual themes found in my Pinterest boards.
