I understand graffiti as art, when it's done well and with a permission. But somehow I don't understand these tags that usually are just a mess and done without any permissions. On the otherhand this rundown house doesn't get much worse with some tags on it.

Old ostrobothnian house

I believe this is the main building of an old farm. I don't know exactly how old it is, but my guess is around 150-200 years. Almost all of the farm houses of that time were log houses.

Three little houses

Three little houses in Nurmo.

"Talvitien talo", pretty in pink

This pretty house stands in the center of Seinäjoki. I love the color and style of this house. It's one of the nice older houses remaining in Seinäjoki. It's called the "Talvitien talo". I believe the name relates to the original owner named Talvitie.

"Veteran houses"

This is a typical neighborhood built in the 50's. A series of simple and economical model house designs was created by architects before and during the 2nd World War. The houses are usually built on-site by the families themselves.

The house model is usually called "Rintamamiestalo", "Veteran house", altough the original residents weren't always veterans. Most of the houses have now been renovated, some in a modern way and some in more traditional way. You can find streets like this in many towns around Finland.

Way of living

Here people, especially families with small children prefer living in their own houses. This neighborhood was built about 6-7 years ago. If you look beyond these houses, you can see that  agriculture is strong in this area as the fields open behind those trees.
