First day in Helsinki


After work, I checked in to the hotel and then went for a walk. The first place I came to was this park just Northeast of the hote.

There were many people on the grass, enjoying the sunshine. Adjacent to the part was this lovely block of modern flats.



I saw the steeple of this church sticking up over the rooftops, so I walked through the neighborhood until I came to it.



Soon I saw more church towers, and I found this lovely church.

I believe it's the main cathedral.

And here's the view from the street where my hotel is located. It's on the right side of this photo.

After returning to the hotel, I sat in the sauna for a little while. I'm still enjoying the warm afterglow nearly an hour afterward.
