Helsinki, Finland – photos of the weekend #40
October 8th, 2010 by BLOGitse received 52 Comments »photos of the weekend #40
Greetings – still from Helsinki, Finland!
“The busy Market Square, with its orange stalls, between the sea and the impressive row of historical buildings is the first view to catch the eye of the visitor arriving by sea. On one side of the bay is the South Harbour, on the other the Katajanokka headland. Facing out to sea are Helsinki City Hall, the Swedish Embassy and the Presidential Palace.”

Welcome on board! Silja Line
Welcome on board! Viking Line (the ship in the middle, red/white)
I didn’t have to ask him to smile! 
I bought cranberry-rasberry jam…yummy!
More Market Square pictures next week…

Have a great weekend!

I WAS lucky – now it’s grey and next week it’s getting colder. Good time to leave on Monday…
Minulta jää silakkamarkkinat tänä vuonna väliin, mutta onneksi tulee uusia vuosia.
Siellä on ihania herkkuja, mutta mielestäni kamalan kallista!

Samaa mielta – kallista mutta hyvaa. Toisaalta. Kaikki pienimuotoinen ‘kasityo’ on kallista.
Wonderful shots.

Thanks Sylvia! I can’t remember when I’ve eaten as much as during this trip
Lovely series of colourful photos! The market looks like a fascinating place to wander! But I especially love those beautiful ships!
Thanks Gemma! More ship pictures coming next week…they are beautiful!
The shame is that snow and ice are to follow (while you are in a warmer place for the season no doubt
Along the water, it is full of life as people shop or sightsee. It is a wonderful sight!

Thanks Joanne! ‘Kauppatori’ is full of goodies to buy or just to enjoy looking
that looks like an awesome market. The waterfront looks like ours in Hobart

It is awesome, more pics coming next week…Happy Sunday!
I do love to stroll around markets! And this ones look fun! Great photos as always! Enjoy your jam!
Tracy recently posted..Shadow Shot Sunday 125
In markets people are more connected than in shopping malls, I like that! Happy Sunday Tracy!
Thanks for the tour! I love the ship shotos.
And I’d be smiling too if I had cranberry rasberry jam.

Sonya recently posted..Sundays In My City
Today it’s been grey plus cold Northen wind….brrrrrr……
This looks like a fabulous place to explore for all sorts of wonderful sights.
Tara R. recently posted..Where I empty my camera of random photos…
It is, come and visit!
Have a good week ahead!
I’m one of those tourists that would have made a beeline towards those stalls.
Happy Sunday,

and have a cup of coffee, sit outside, watch people….
I spent one lovely day in Helsinki, many, many years ago on a Baltic cruise. Wish I could return and stay a week in Finland!
Carmen Henesy recently posted..Sundays in My City – More San Francisco Houses – October 10- 2010
Why not! Helsinki is not whole Finland. Did you know we have almost 200.000 lakes? Lakes, rivers in Finland
Why are ports at sea more picturesque than the modern ports – airports?
cranberry-rasberry jam – sounds tasty.
lisleman recently posted..sun apples wine beer good times
Modern way to build must be quick and ugly!
Looks like a colorful and friendly place to stroll about and make friends.
Matty recently posted..How You Know the Light Bulb Is On
That is one place where you can connect with people! Customers are so different what they are inside shopping malls etc. Maybe it’s the fresh air!
Hey, Helsinki — I need some jam! Great pics.
Hei, hei Helsingistä! (Hi from Helsinki!)
I want some of that jam.
I love your logo on the side of the boats. I think Blogitse would be a great name for a ship.
I don’t remember the last time I saw the sea….sigh! Miss it so…..
gaelikaa recently posted..Sundays in my City 9
I know what you mean…when you see the sea it’s like seeing a freedom…
Ooooo, it’s always so much fun to visit your world, a little mini-tour of a wonderful place I will probably never see…but I can dream through your wonderful shots…hope you had a grand weekend!
