Great photos and such a trip to think this pool could essentially be the origin of all transition.

It's crazy that that pool is here in Finland and designed by Alvar Aalto. I had no idea.

Alvar Aalto is already considered a national hero here, but this just makes him way more awesome to me.

[happenstance]

^Definitely true. The design style of that house looks like something more common 10 years later.
