2. Didn’t know Helsinki is considered rural.

3. Any idea on where the 11th picture was taken? It looks pretty similar to how I remember my grandparents’ place looking like.

4. Those pictures give me the most 1930s vibe of the Baltics.

5. Thanks for sharing!

6. Mökkivibes

7. I mean this just looks like modern day Estonia when you go more than 5 min from Tallinn. Life goals.

8. In the first picture it looks like she is making a sheet of green leaves. In the 6th it looks like the two women are about to do something with a similar sheet of leaves. What am I seeing there?

10. Is picture 13 right near Sipoo? I used to ride my bike there every day for almost 2 years and those hills look really similar to now.
