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
Down the esplanade
We like to parade
With a gentle sway
For a while in the cafes stay
Until summer will fade
And to indoors we will trade

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

World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki: Intro
This week’s World Wide Wednesday is visiting the town of Helsinki. A city way up north, where reindeer roam the streets, it snows in summer and people are rarely seen or heard of…
But seriously, a very nice summer city to visit, my former hometown and very clean, lush and sunny, except when it rains… And it does, a lot 😉 So welcome to Hel-sinki!
“If it isn’t on Google, it doesn’t exist” Jimmy Wales
Just F-ing Google It!
If you are unsure
On finding the allure
As to why, what and who
If you are in doubt
Of where, how and when
Knowing all about
The sword being mightier
Than the pen
Your head is none the lighter
But you might get wiser
Than
The oracle
Oh, no, not the database
Get onto the next phase
And
Before you ask
More stupid questions
Or hand out any suggestions
Take upon yourself the task
And just fucking Google it!
