I used to travel there frequently for work in the late 1990s but this was my first time back in 18 years. Helsinki is a city of many striking buildings, and given that it was cold and dark (as is normal in late October), there were not many people out and about when I prowled the streets in the evening. So fewer people than is usually the case in my galleries, but at least you get a sense of what Helsinki looks like: http://www.frozenlight.eu/helsinki_oct2019/ The city felt new and familiar at the same time. Some of the places I show are very familiar to me, like the Esplanade. Others are not, for obvious reasons?for example, the magnificent Central Library only opened in November 2018. I also found to my delight that the beer scene had vastly improved since my last visit in 2001 :-) As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
