If you have the opportunity to visit Finland, do so, it is a beautiful country and the people are very welcoming.
Beautiful flowers and stunning Architecture.

Helsinki is so beautiful and serene, the pictures are amazing Debra. I think Helsinki belong to another planet 🙂
I have noticed that the light is different from what I am used to see in the mid part of our planet.
I especially enjoyed the pictures of the flowers, I clicked on them and saw the details: the yellow tulip have a red trim, and there is a fly on the rose flowers 🙂
Thanks Debra for taking me on a trip to Helsinki! I don’t think I will ever have the chance to go there, if it wasn’t for your blog 🙂
Thank you
Mirella

I have been very lucky to travel to Finland several times. We had the best weather this time. Everything looks so lovely on a sunny day. I did love Helsinki in February in deep snow, even though it was much harder to get about.

Hi, yes, the church is the same as in my photo, the church of John.
You’ve captured beautiful photos, Helsinki is full of interesting small details in houses, it’s always nice to look at photos taken by someone else of my hometown.
