In the news it was told that the longest bridge in Finland is now in Helsinki, Kruunuvuorensilta, which seems to go from nowhere to nowhere, and spoils the scenery totally. Why so? Maybe it is from the center to the university in Viikki, build because the university is wanted to the center, and so when the university wanted to continue in Viikki and Vallila, those areas were wanted to inside good travel connections from the center of Helsinki and the capital district. But so it means that if the university would want a fine oldfashioned environment of trees, old houses, fine houses and high culture with parks etc, that too could be possible, wise answers possible. Interiors wisely too, and not without old wise things to look at. And likewise old liked market place etc also kept up.


People in Helsinki, and maybe academical people at large, are not good at making things work out in practice, if it is something like handiworks or like buying or making social estimates different for each. It maybe helps to think that things bought from shops are made as handiworks, and also the handicraft maker needs to buy the materials. If one goes to a shop withour rigid plans, one should look at the styles of things to buy, since the user friendliness features are coded in colour symbolics and social styles of large groups of customers, like fir example blue for those who want things like young men's lives, or something like that, but I do not know for sure. Then if one does out of hobby like interest, the next time some material may bring new ideas, practical solution possibilities from what the shop had in store. That is different from having ideals to choose from, but on the other hand, the products maybe are made by skilled even dedicated people.
I used to visit the Buddhist meditation evening at the Friends of Western Buddhist order. Some time later I heard that it had changed it's name to Triratna, which is an awful error. Maybe they tried to follow advices in the Finnish academical style. They would have picked good will, in Buddhism that means Metta. Helsingin buddhalainen yhdistys Metta ry, Buddhalainen yhdistys Metta ry?

Of the big white catedral in the center of Helsinki, it is said that wonder at the skills and local natural views of those who build it. And that is why there is the statue of the Russian szsar in the square by it's side. That must have been in people's mind today, people like kings deciding for such a bridge.
