Have a look at this pretty balcony (with a door)!
In Helsinki’s city center, it’s not often that apartments have balconies. The residents of this art deco building are lucky though. This one is very pretty to look at and I’m sure it’s a lovely place to sit in the mornings, with a cup of coffee, watching the city wake up.

I love this post and its photos! First one is my favorite. The balcony is very romantic, although it is not practical in our modern days due to noise, wind and air pollution. Nowadays the trend is to build big glazed balconies, which cover all the main façade. With big balcony, I mean from 12 to 24 square meters. In Oulu we have only 12 square meters glazed balcony.

I do love those big balconies. It’s like another room in your apartment. This one really is quite romantic. I’ve never seen anyone sitting there.. Thank your for visiting Matti 😊

Nice one. Balconies built out of the corner of a building are not seen too often – it must make for an interesting view.

Love the balcony you captured. They must sit there regularly, looking at the chairs, etc. When you have a job you probably don’t have the time to even sit there:)

Thank you, maybe the residents sit there for morning coffee a nightcap. Here in Finland summer holiday season is just starting but then people often leave the city for the countryside. Happy weekend!

I admire this balcony every day. I have been too lazy to make mine look nice. Only one flower there which I keep forgetting to water…

I love Thursday Doors! I’m hosting a new link-up – Saturday Statues – it would be great if you’d like to take part. I think you’ll find many interesting statues in Berlin, Milan and Greece 😀

Suvi—–Sure, I’m up for taking part in Saturday Statues! I can’t wait to get to Europe!! By the way, if you or any blog readers love reading, I did a book review on this really good Indie book about a romance set during Finland’s Winter War. 🙂
