Helsinki in Photos

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry

Keeping with my new tradition of ending each city’s posts with a photo spread, I present to you some impressions of Helsinki in picture form. For a capital that was only added to my itinerary to facilitate a cheaper flight, Helsinki surprised and delighted me.

On the Waterfront

Aloha, Helsinki
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Window to the soul
Cityscape

Vegan Heaven in Kallio

How does vegan cheese look so much like real dairy?
Chia pudding was all the rage in Reykjavík too
Seitan never looked so good
Veggie burger to die for that no being had to die for

Night Walk

While the city sleeps
The sun sort of sets in Finland, but not really (Photo taken at 22:30)
Night Fall
Midnight train to…Lapland?
Art installation or under construction?

Cast Iron World

Sea on the shore

Ring Them Bells

I’ll take Finnish authors for $500, Alex.

Lost in Thought

Marian, Madam Librarian
Early morning Suomenlinna
Do you know the way to Haukkalampi?
Rock Church
Yellow everywhere
Just chillin’

Sweet Tooth

This photo exists purely to make you jealous
Could eat one of these after every meal
The most Finnish of all: salted licorice
