What an incredible place Helsinki is. As extraordinary as the soaring urban world was, the true magic begins along the skirts between city and forest. Endless stretches of evergreen trees dot the forests and thanks to the poor nutrients in the soil, the fauna that can grow in Helsinki is limited. All the deciduous trees here- maple, aspen, birch- abandon their leaves before winter's heavy blows harm them.
Through and through, the wildlife fascinates me. According to borealforest.org, it's typical to find anything from rabbits and hares to wolves and foxes. The arctic fox, in particular, resides in Helsinki, and it's truly an artist with its hunting.
