Helsinki, the White City of the North

I have never seen a city like Helsinki, which has such rich natural landscapes as plains, hills, grasslands, forests, lakes, oceans, islands... within its small area of ​​less than five kilometers.

It has been a long time since there was a day like today when, in just a few hours from day to night, the weather cycle changed from sunny, cloudy, overcast, gusty, to showers...

Immersed in the cool morning mist of Sibelius, drenched in the intermittent rain of Amos Rex, encountered the clear sky after the clouds parted at Aalto's home and studio, watched the stunning sunset at the Ode Library, and rushed to the fireworks of Helsinki Ferris Wheel - I never thought that the first day of this journey could accommodate such a diverse world.
