Downtown Helsinki!

Helsinki, Finland

A gorgeous late August morning and time for a stroll in downtown Helsinki. The downtown area is packed with all sorts of interesting building and churches. Turned around when I got down to the harbor and found this wonderful old Customs House: "Tull & Packhus." A glorious day for it!

Taiteiden yƶ - Konstens natt

Helsinki, Finland

Our arrival this morning in Helsinki happily coincided with Helsinki's "Night of the Arts." After dinner, we headed out to explore and there was so much going on that I only had energy for a few things. But I definitely fell in love with the Finnish art at the Ateneumin! On the way home I also stopped into the Svenska Teatern--what a fantastically ornate theater!
