Exploring Jacksonville • Liberty Park • North Liberty Street • Springfield neighborhood
👉 a simple, but colorful playground in an otherwise unremarkable city park - I make a habit of taking a photo of all park signs I visit during my explorations ... this one stands out because there was an unhoused woman sleeping next to the sign, and I felt uncomfortable taking a picture, or waking her to ask permission ... I frequently post photos of the less attractive sights and urban decay, but our unhoused crisis here is growing, as it is most everywhere ... I just don't have the stones for that type of photography yet 😔
Day trip today to Soumenlinna, the inhabited sea fortress about 4 km southeast of the city center of Helsinki. Weather was perfect, and the place very interesting - a really pleasant area for walking.
