Below zero in Helsinki

I arrived in Helsinki to minus 1degree. That may sound cold, but a few days ago it was around minus 20, so I felt very lucky indeed. I like the cold and I happily wandered around the city admiring the snowy scene.

The cold weather doesn’t stop the Finns getting about.

But there were no takers for outdoor dining.

The strong men at the station are always favourites.

Esplanadi Park looks gorgeous covered with snow.

Early morning by the harbour was beautiful.

That is one of the boats that cruises around breaking up the ice to keep the harbour open.

I always take a walk in the park behind the station.

No visit to Helsinki would be complete without the beautiful white church that overlooks Senate Square.

My second day in Helsinki was minus 14 degrees. Now that is cold for a girl from Brisbane.

I have a new blog on Helsinki. Take a look at Beautiful Helsinki.
