In 2006 we visited Helsinki.
It was a hot day.
There was a lot to see. The above three shots are all taken from the same place.
A view from outside the railway station can be found on Sithenah.
This is our coach outside the Temppeliaukio Church; the final stop on our tour of the city.
For more H posts visit ABC Wednesday.
