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.

SOUTH
HARBOR MARKET, WINTER, HELSINKI |
|
|
|
|
|
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.

Icy
mist over Helsinki's South Harbor. Valkosaari and Klippan islands are
shrouded in the lacy, cold winter mist. Suomenlinna is somewhere behind
the icy veil in the background.
