Winters
can be brutally
cold, but stunningly beautiful. Sometimes they
are relatively
mild. |

Winter
night view of "Kolera-allas", a part of the South Harbor:
On the left you see the Market
Hall,
straight ahead is the City
Hall (Kaupungintalo
in Finnish), and behind City
Hall is 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. Photo copyright: R.C.

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.

Why
do we have so many copyright notices on our pages? Because
some people
and entities
have stolen our photos, including this gem of an image just above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, sadly, we introduce
the: INTERNET HALL OF SHAME - the unfortunate
tale of people who steal photos from web sites.
