Expansive view looking north-northwest from the southern end of the Sestroretsk coastline towards the Sestroretsk Resort (Kurort) and, further in the distance, the settlement of Solnechnoe (Sunny). The coastline curves gently inward. This specific geography near Sestroretsk causes the eastward littoral drift (sand movement) to weaken, resulting in a very wide, accretional beach (up to 140 meters wide) known for its fine sand and extensive dunes. The foreground shows a sandy spit or sandbar created by the outflow of water. The shallow water here creates the wide, calm pools seen in the foreground, which are popular with birds. Sestroretsk near Saint Petersburg, Russia, October 9, 2025
This aerial view captures the Tapiola district in Espoo, Finland, just west of Helsinki. Known as a "garden city," Tapiola is famous for its unique urban planning that blends modern architecture with extensive green spaces. Central Basin (Keskusallas): The large body of water in the left-center is the artificial pool or basin at the heart of Tapiola s center. It is surrounded by key landmarks like the Espoo Cultural Centre and the iconic Tapiola Garden Hotel. The image clearly shows the "garden city" concept in action: high-rise apartment blocks (typically white) are scattered amongst dense patches of forest and parks, rather than being packed into tight grids. In the foreground (bottom left), the coastline features marinas and residential areas, likely parts of the affluent Westend or Haukilahti neighborhoods, known for their seaside location. The major road running horizontally through the upper middle is likely La"nsiva"yla" (Western Highway), the main artery connecting Espoo to Helsinki city center (which would be to the right/east).
