“The very fact of snow is such an amazement.” Roger Ebert

Snow and then some! (Part Four)

One step, two step
Feeling the shake
No worries, no hurries
Just walk a mile
It will be quite a while
Before the ice breaks

Snow and then some! (Part Three)

In front of me
A most gorgeous display
Sunshine, on a snowy day
The waters frozen
Feeling brazen
A thought quite attempting
The opportunity presenting
A walkabout upon the lake

Snow and then some! (Part One)

In the early morning hours
Before the rush and plowers
A perfect moment of stillness
Nature white and flawless
Staring in awe
At the most beautiful picture
I ever saw

Hakaniemi (Sightseeing and Walkabout) Two

The notorious part of the town
Clad in a glorious white gown
Don’t let the history fool you
Sit down on a bench for the view
Beautiful in summer or winter
No longer a sore splinter
Of the great city of Helsinki

Hakaniemi, One

Travelling in my home country, Finland and in the exotic capital of Helsinki. For this week I have chosen the (in)famous Hakaniemi, a stone throw away from the City Centre. Or you can just take the Metro or tram to reach Hakaniemi in four minutes from the Central Railway Station 😉

Enjoy!IMG_20160119_143845

“Helsinki isn’t all that bad. It’s a very nice city, and it’s cold really only in wintertime” Linus Torvalds

A Visit to Kamppi: Three

Artistic or snobbery?
Or just plain highway robbery?
Beauty, art and sound
Can only truly be found
In the eye of the beholder
In that very special folder

A Visit to Kamppi: Two

When left is nothing more to shop
Many of the passengers at the bus stop
Eagerly into a transit will pop
Keeping a distance to the strangers
Good Lord knows what dangers
May lurk behind a simple “hello”
