Architecture, Nature & Cityscapes – Helsinki and Beyond

🇫🇮 Suomi 🇬🇧 English

Photography focused on urban aesthetics, architecture, and cityscapes from Helsinki and beyond. The site includes both original and curated works that document the visual identity of cities, from historic architecture 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.
