April 22: Lansiväylä
We took a tour of a building under construction for our Building Systems class; or rather, everyone else did, as I just missed it by slightly overlong bus connections and walking time. Instead, I walked around the area (Espoo, near Tapiola) a bit and then took the bus back.

The walk was heavily along Länsiväylä (Western Passage), the same highway that we took to school. This is a stairway for pedestrians to get to the level of the highway crossing above.

The crossing highway itself.

Curvilinear dynamicalities.

It was a thoroughly altocumular sky.

An adjacent building with some quite interesting tectonics.

...And a rather odd face toward the highway.

Länsiväylä further on to the west, viewed from the bridge into Westend.

Back at Lasipalatsi: the pimpinest coffee cup.

The National Museum again, a destination I ended up having to leave for my next visit.

On Runeberginkatu, a huge and thus somewhat creepy mural character.
