Different shades and shapes of lilac, each revealing its own beauty.
In this scene, the blossoms in the foreground shimmer with hints of mauve and pink, their delicate petals layered like lace among fresh green leaves. Behind them, deeper violet blooms create a backdrop, highlighting the quiet grace of the lighter cluster. It’s a moment of harmony, where color, light, and scent mingle like a fleeting memory of May.
As Helsinki transitions from the chill of winter to the warmth of spring, Kaivopuisto Park becomes a canvas of renewal. In early May, cherry blossoms burst into delicate pink, coinciding with Vappu, Finland’s cherished May Day celebration. This period marks the unofficial start of spring, with Midsummer just 51 days away.
In this scene, students donning white caps (ylioppilaslakki) symbols of academic achievement stroll beneath the blooming trees. The juxtaposition of vibrant blossoms and traditional attire encapsulates the spirit of Vappu: a blend of youthful exuberance, cultural pride, and the joy of new beginnings.
Helsingin siirtyessä talven kylmyydestä kevään lämpöön, Kaivopuiston puisto herää eloon. Toukokuun alussa kirsikkapuut puhkeavat hennon vaaleanpunaisiksi kukiksi, samaan aikaan kun vietetään Vappua, Suomen rakastettua kevätjuhlaa. Tämä ajankohta merkitsee kevään epävirallista alkua, ja juhannukseen on enää 51 päivää.
Kuvassa opiskelijat valkoisissa ylioppilaslakeissaan kulkevat kukkivien puiden alla. Elinvoimaisten kukkien ja perinteisen asun yhdistelmä kiteyttää Vapun hengen: nuoruuden innon, kulttuurisen ylpeyden ja uusien alkujen ilon.
