Helsinki II

Helsinki is such a beautiful city from so many different angles, but of course the location by the sea, and the many ports with their cruise ships add so much character, and shape the way the city works, and how people travel. I've always lived on the coast, and can't even imagine not living somewhere fairly close to a large body of water. I couldn't help myself but take a ton of pictures of Helsinki!

My photo diary of the trip to Finland continues here with these photos of the day and a half that we spent in Helsinki. I would actually love to spend more time there as Helsinki has changed so much, both with a new, more cosmopolitan atmosphere, new buildings and whole neighborhoods transformed, and I am curious about everything it has to offer. It's also always great to see my friends who live there, but the one regret I have is that it's just too rushed. I wish I had more time to spend exploring the city and hang out with the people I know...
