Nokia HQ



And Nokia's neighbours






Random shots of my life in Espoo, day +1 Elopcalypse.


"The end is nigh"








Helsingin sanomat about yesterdays annoucement. Added guide in english.




"Finland in shock - Elop still laughing. Report about Nokia's day of doom"






Miniature of new underground metro station. It's part of new Espoo metro extension. Total cost of the project 700 million euros. Started just couple of months ago. Possible not the best possible time after yesterday.






And finally my favourite picture. Explanation below.



On the bus it says Meego. The text attached to picture says that 2000 Nokia employees were taken to an event venue to hear the Elop annoucement. The venue was converted old slaughter house. (IMHO) Proving that if nothing else, Nokia management still has wickedly good sense of dark humour.

" -So where are we gonna tell these people that most will lose their jobs and fruits of their work will be abandoned? - How about a huge old slaughter house? - Sounds good. Book it!"
