Helsinki photos

Here are the photos from Helsinki. It would only bore you to hear what hassle it has been to get this far. They are also in a fairly random order.. but at least its something to look at for now.

#1 Copper ceiling inside the rock church. (official name escapes me for now) This shot is showing a 20m wide section of it. It was so stunning!

#2 Inside the rock church. If you look closely you can see Mark sitting in his red jacket in the end of one of the pews. Pipe organ to the right, glass skylight which surrounded and supported the copper ceiling.

#3 Me sitting at the bar of our hotel (Helka). The whole hotel was full of this fab style furniture. The ceiling of our room had a giant picture on it of rocks and lake. Very peaceful.

#4 Taken from the bar on top of Hotel Torni where we sipped champagne while watching the boat leave for Stockholm. (See white ship leaving)

#5 A fab church in Helsinki. (again forgot the name of it for now)

#5 Mark rugged up in his (now) beloved thermals against the cold. It was about -1C this early in the morning.

#6 Some signs at the train station which fascinated Mark.

#7 Me, if you look closely you will see my eyes only are showing. Again so bloody cold! In the background, barely visible, is the low building on the left which was the local food market we got the fab salmon from.
