Seems there is a fire at the Lauttasaari subway station construction site at Helsinki. I can see the smoke rising all the way to my apartment.
There are some pics:

They say some blasting mats are burning.
They must be preparing for expansion. It looks like a subway station to the woods. Hope it goes out OK.
It just looks like that.

All places here are full of forest.
Yes they are building more in there, but what i meant is that its not empty.

Its one of the tunnels that is in fire.
I think its good they put money on these projects on these times. This is another interesting project in Helsinki:

The fire department estimated that its going to take another two hours to put out the fire.

^ Usually a sign of a boom in business when the plans were drawn up and investing in the future. Predicting future growth and hopefully being ready for it when it arrives.
We could use more public transportation over here. But, the amount of cars owned and the general belief that public transport is beneath everyone quells these projects. Cars are so important they would rather spend on more roads. Then trains etc..
Cold beer on a humid rainy day. Not bad.

Now it's lightening outside. Son of a bitch. Power outage in 3... 2....
