Helsinki, part I - Winter

Helsinki Cathedral

This time in English! I'm late again with the pics but anyway... here's something from Hell-sinki in February. Helsinki is the capital and by far the biggest city in Finland. Population within the city limits is around 600 000 and goes up to 1.1 million when counting the adjaced cities of Espoo (the 2nd largest city in Finland) and Vantaa (4th largest), which are essentially just suburbs of Helsinki.
