World Wide Wednesday in Finland

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

…And Ordinary Dwellings

A stylish display
Of this historic market hall
With wall to wall
Ye old shops
Where ever you stop
When done
Sit in the sun
In any of the cafes

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

Capital Buildings…

The old orthodox cathedral
May seem somewhat medieval
But also quite regal
Just ask the adoring people

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

…And Ordinary Dwellings

It may be a drawing
A piece of street graffiti
But if you are ready for exploring
In the warmth of Tahiti
Give this little town a chance
Who knows, maybe a glance
Will turn into a permanent stance!

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

…And Ordinary Dwellings

Houses, seemingly ordinary
But inside, quit extraordinary
Side by side, in the town square
A common history, do they all share
Equally basking, in the sun’s glare

“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb

…And Ordinary Dwellings

Statues, trams and squares
A water fountain with stairs
It’s the centre of the city
By the waters ever so pretty
Therefore, nothing else compares!

Finnish proverb

Capital Buildings…

The Helsinki Cathedral
Some could say a sequel
But for the city dwellers
This, is the best seller
And a building nothing will equal
