Sandalsand Norge >>
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.
Afterwards, find more photo galleries on Sandalsand.
Fast facts

Helsinki is the country’s capital and largest city, and forms a larger metropolitan area together with the neighbouring cities of Espoo, Kauniainen, and Vantaa. Finland is officially bilingual, with Finnish and Swedish being official. The climate varies relative to latitude, from the southern humid continental climate to the northern boreal climate.
