Very nice Christian, I really enjoyed it.  I need to find time to do something like that.

Beautiful pictures and beautiful layout! Finland has fascinated me for a while, ever since I toured the southern part of the country a few times with a band I was in. Due to the nature of touring, I never really got to spend too much time in any single city, but I did meet a lot of people there and they are among the nicest people I've met. I hope you had a similar experience!

Thanks, Satish. Yes, I have the same experience as you, the Finnish people that I met are among the friendliest and sweetest people I've ever met. I sometimes wonder how they cope with the dark winters and still keep their good mood.

I just visited Helsinki for couple days last month.  Your B/W photos really captured the "Nordic" mood of the city!

Look forward to seeing another great work from you.

Boy am I late to the party  ::)
I must say it was a nice visit.
There's something about northern European countries that escapes our common American understanding of things.
And the light is also one of a kind...

Thanks, François. I like Helsinki. I was very lucky with the weather, the light was fabulous.

Just seeing this now and it is really well put together. Great photos and I love the honesty of the "glimpse" title. Looking forward to seeing more.
