Cruising The Gulf Of Finland

Time to head to Russia in style. Or at least a ferry. We are veterans of this type of travel and you can read about it here. We recently hopped the St. Peter Line from Helsinki to St. Petersburg for a weekend of soaking up all things Russian.

The St. Petersburg ferry terminal, done in high communist architecture style.

Festive flagging.

Mysterious cabin.

Helsinki Church Details

The majesty of most churches may be right down the center aisle, but small details also offer a chance for enlightenment. Or at least a group of interesting photographs.

Hanging Around In Helsinki

Hello Helsinki.

One of the major landmarks in the harbor area, Uspenski Cathedral. A little stroll, mother and daughter with matching knapsacks.

The Kiasma, Helsinki's contemporary art museum and exhibition space, its own artwork.

Water all around, whether gritty harbor or classic fountain.

The other major religious landmark, Tuomiokirkko.
