Due to winter season it’s a bit empty here. But we are sure you still recognize these beautiful and old but quite modern buildings as far as the green roofs are concerned.
Green roofs serve several purposes for a building, absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, creating habitat for wildlife and decreasing stress of the people around.

The pink ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness. Pink ribbons, and the color pink in general, identify the wearer or promoter with the breast cancer brand and express moral support for women with breast cancer. Pink ribbons are most commonly seen during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is the reason why our library bridge was glowing pink yesterday.

Just a moment or two before sun set.
Last rays of sun reflecting from the windows on the other side of the river Aura coloring its surface golden.

Tuomaansilta bridge was built in 1998-1999 and is named after the first bishop of Finland, Thomas.

Samppalinna windmill dates back to 1860. It is one of the landmarks and a tourist sight of the city and more over the one and only dutch-style-windmill in Nordic countries.
Now when autumn is here the Samppalinna windmill is easier to see, here colored by the sun set.

Suomen Joutsen is a steel-hulled full rigged ship with three square rigged masts. Built in 1902 by Chantiers de Penhoët in St. Nazaire, France, as Laënnec, the ship served two French owners before she was sold to German interest in 1922 and renamed Oldenburg. In 1930, she was acquired by the Government of Finland, refitted to serve as a school ship for the Finnish Navy and given her current name. Suomen Joutsen made eight long international voyages before the Second World War and later served in various support and supply roles during the war. From 1961 on she served as a stationary seamen's school for the Finnish Merchant Navy. In 1991, Suomen Joutsen was donated to the city of Turku and became a museum ship moored next to Forum Marinum.

Turku Market Hall (or ’Kauppahalli’ as we say in Finnish) is a piece of traditional Turku where locals shop and get together for lunch or a cup of coffee. This magnificent photo of our market hall is captured by @inspiredbymaps.
