HELSINKI'S SOUTH HARBOR & MARKET, WINTER:


A rigidly cold winter night view of Helsinki's South Harbor, clad in snow: On the left you see the Market  Hall, straight ahead is  the Helsinki City City Hall (Kaupungintalo in Finnish),  and behind City Hall is the Helsinki Cathedral, a.k.a. the Dome (Tuomiokirkko in Finnish). Behind the ship is the area that hosts the splendid South Harbor Market Square (Kauppatori in Finnish). The Presidential Palace (Presidentin Linna in Finnish) ) is located  beyond the right border of the photo.

Yes, Winter in Helsinki can be so cold. South Harbor - so beautiful in its winter gear. The Market Hall, above, left, is a splendid place to shop for food, fresh fish, meat, bread, cheese, fruit, farm produce, little pies or pirogies, wine, etc. Or to  grab a little snack in its cafes. In the summer we sometimes grab picnic food there, before setting out to some of the nearby city owned islands.
