I have spent a considerable part of the day scanning and labelling some slides given to me for a paper I'm writing. They're pictures taken by a planning academic who is no longer with us but who was in Tapiola in June 1972 and was interested in the town and some of its features particularly things pertaining to transport. He was especially interested in cycling.
They're great pictures but something that has entranced me is the people in the background just living their lives, seemingly quite wholesomely. You can't see their faces (usually) but you can see their clothes and the way they carry themselves in public. It's really interesting to me, not necessarily because it's Finland and a place I love, Tapiola, although I suppose that's not a negative. Have a look.
