Moikka! And thank you. I like taking photos from new angles. Something different from the usual tourist photos. I didn’t even think about that “wire nest hell” thing but now after you mentioned it I can see what you mean. 🙂

Moi! I love the photo of the tram wires by Senaatintori. The stereotypical photo of that square is from the other corner, showing the cathedral and hiding the transport infrastructure! The tram wires’ web has its own geometrical beauty. For me it also calls to mind the funny but exasperated “wire nest hell” photos that are easy to take on streetcorners in developing countries.

Yep, Lappeenranta is right. Long sunny days at summer are one of the best sides of Finland I think so you are not only one loving those moments. I’m glad you like my home country and hope you can return here soon! I will definitely try to share more Finland travel posts so wait for them. Thank you for commenting 🙂

I visited Finland years ago – I used to have a friend who lived in Lappeenranta ( I think that’s how it’s spelt), and I visited her for 2 weeks one summer. I remember sitting by the lakeshore in the town centre at nearly midnight, and it was still daylight which I loved. We also went to Helsinki before I came home. I loved Finland, definitely want to go back, just haven’t made it back yet! Can’t wait to read more and see more photos!

[…] good to explore your own home country and see what is has to offer. For example I visited Helsinki, Seitseminen National Park and moved to new […]

Yes, I visited Tallinn for the first time earlier this year and I’m totally in love with the city. Thanks for the tips! I will definitely not use all of my time in the Christmas market.

It’s still worth it to go, just because it’s Tallinn and Tallinn is a nice city. The market looks really nice, but there is a lack of variety or food for that matter. Go, but make it a trip bigger than just the market.

Thank you! Fortunately, it was sunny day for us in Helsinki so it was easy to take beautiful photos 🙂

Thank you! I really like the Christmas market of Helsinki but I haven’t really visited that many Christmas markets so I can’t really tell if it’s that great. I have always dreamed about visiting Christmas market in Berlin though and I will maybe go to Tallinn’s Christmas market this year (even if you say it’s not that good). Thanks for commenting!
