April 19: Katajanokka to Tervasaari
I had a history paper to write on the Jugend architecture of Katajanokka, so I took a thorough photography walkabout, starting out by walking to the nearby peninsula/island of Tervasaari (Tar Island), which affords a panoramic view of Katajanokka's north shore.

These were awesome every time I walked by them.

Uspenski looms.

The Skatta north shore from just up Pohjoisranta. (Skatta is local slang for Katajanokka and I'm using it because I'm tired of writing Katajanokka out so much.)

Some pretty sweet Jugend or National Romantic details on a building along Pohjoisranta.
