A day in Helsinki (the capital of Finland) . . .
Helsinki Cathedral
the main train station
the Kiasma Museum of Art
the plaque at the entrance
the entry hall
the better of the exhibition spaces
Finlandia . . . . need I say more
Finlandia Hall by Alvar Aalto
Temppeliaukio - the Rock Church from the outside
the pipe organ
the vents in the floor
the holder for the vigil candles
the concrete fins
an orchestra practicing
Cafe Aalto in a building he designed
the view over Helsinki 
I want to go to Helsinki. Thanks for posting these photos - so pretty and pristine. an awesome combo of modern and traditional scandinavian. anyhoo, I had to tell you. I got to visit the home of Thom Mayne. He's a famous architect based out of LA and used to teach at Cal Poly so I thought you'd probably learned about him. He did that collins school in NY that I sent you a bit ago. his house is AMAZING.
