weekend #22 photos
Last week we had beautiful weather in Helsinki…and lots of city shadows!
Esplanadi ‘Espa‘ Park was packed of summer lovers…
People buying ice cream, slurpyum 
Free concert starting soon…
“Espa Stage offers a rich programme from the beginning of May to the end of August.”
Havis Amanda
“Havis Amanda is a nude female statue in Helsinki, Finland. It was sculpted by Ville Vallgren (1855-1940) in 1906 in Paris, but was not erected at its present location at the Market Square in Kaartinkaupunki until 1908.
Vallgren himself simply called the work Merenneito (English: The Mermaid), but it quickly started to get additional nicknames. The Finland-Swedish newspapers dubbed it Havis Amanda and the Finnish Haaviston Manta or simply Manta. Havis Amanda is the common name used in brochures and travel guides.” read more > wikipedia
Have a relaxing weekend!

Milloin tulet?
Helsinki looks sunny and warm (although many are wearing long sleeves), but the solar brilliance makes us want to be outside for ice cream and sightseeing. Always a beautiful city!

Hello gorgeous neighbour,
That’s unfair, huh? You been enjoying your warm and sunny day and me wet and coldy?
Rain is oozing over Sweden while thousands of thousands of Marathon Runners were chilled and wet, but no shadows to share.
SO, join my post last week-end when we had the sun shine full of warmth rays oozing unto us.
Happy SSS…

Enchanting street scenes! So love that fountain style! And the play of light and shadow in the street creates extra beauty!

Such a contrast to the winter there! It’s hard to imagine the cold and bareness of winter, isn’t it?

You have a beautiful city and I felt very privileged to visit it the other day. I actually loved and would love to visit again this time in the snow and ice. Every street, statue, building was worth looking at. And I feel lucky to know you from blogging.

Is there anything better than relaxing in the sunshine at a free concert? Yep, having icecream at a free concert in the sun

It’s always interesting to “walk” the streets of someone else’s city – - – especially when one has never been to that city and it is a whole ocean and continent away!

I can see on one of the Havis Amanda photos that the two office buildings I visited regularly during a few decades are still there! I may miss Nordic summer now and then, but not the office buildings!
