Don't worry, you will find even more interesting things to take photos of. Couldn't post any more because some people would probably be quite pissed to find their faces on a US discussion board.

Here is another one from Turku. On my way to Halinen/Haliskylä. Lonely guy fishing in the Aura river.

I don't know if it's part of everyday life, but whatever, it's hardly a touristy photo. Nice view from the Park Plaza hotel.

Ikr?The amount of motorcycles in Taiwan is ridiculous.That's the consequence of bad infrastructure(talking about metro system here,I'm not saying that MRT is bad,in fact it's excellent and almost everybody agrees with that,but it's not extensive enough and only parts of Taipei and a very tiny bit of Kaohsiung have this "privilege") and the lazy state of mind of my compatriots.

The Halinen bridge, by the dam. Been jogging there many times. Nothing beats a November jog in freezing drizzle and wind there.
Should be a lot of rainbow trout in that area, so it's quite common to see people fishing there.

The same place on a rainy April day:

Maybe face your fear of the Mörkö?

What else is there to do there besides Moominworld anyway? I've got a long weekend there and I doubt I'll want to spend the whole time with the Moomins

Is this the near the place you work? You have posted several photos from the same altitude and the cityscape. The building in the front looks very Finnish.

It is a gorgeous place to walk, bike, climb mountains, kayak, canoe, sail.
