Neristan - An old wooden part of Kokkola - View LARGER

This is where I was born and raised as a kid. An old seaside town and

especially at this part of town where the wooden houses still rule the

view. Thank you for your attention.

Well, to be precise, I haven`t lived in this address. This is just to show the area.

Somehow I do enjoy this kind of old wooden architecture. It is expensive to keep it in anyway modern and yet also maintaining the original atmosphere and the look of the area. These houses are being protected by the Finnish Museum Bureau, so if anything changes, people need to get permission from that bureau.
