Pictures from Finland is a collection by Sandalsand. They are almost all from the capital of Helsinki. I will have to make it back to other parts of Finland sometime.
If you look up all articles from Finland, you will also find a world heritage site and a regular travelogue. Before anything else, start with these pictures from Finland.
These images are from the north-eastern municipality of Enontekis (Enontekiö) on a road trip from and back into northern Norway.

The capital of Finland greeted us with lovely spring weather offering a perfect setting for several walks around the beautiful city centre, as well as a boat trip to a World Heritage Site.
