World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese

Esplanade Park

The dude in the middle
Is not playing the fiddle
A man of importance
Has taken his forever stance
Petrified in the park
Quite a benchmark
And apparently a seagull
Thought to have some fun
While seated above
Right on the top
Possibly out of love
Or just a photo op

Havis Amanda

The bare naked lady
She’s none too shady
They call her “Manta”
Sounds like Fanta
But she is of royalty
Pledging her our loyalty
At least each May Day
When it is time to play

Market Life

If you’re looking for a bargain
Or just some local jargon
You need not to far go
Just take it slow
At the Market Square
The shopkeepers are always fair

Harbour

When on your way
Pick up a cup of java
At the multipurpouse cafe
It may taste like molten lava
But Finns love their coffee
The darker and stronger
You can’t go wrong
And be labeled a softie!

Wide Angle

Heading towards the city centre
The tram tracks calling for adventure
The hustle and bustle on the street
Just the thing for a photo op and a tweet

Tight Angle

Arriving to the city
Feeling kind of giddy
A greeting view behind the barge
The Cathedral’s trio arch
