Day 63: Rovaniemi

This classic picture was taken in Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland near Santa Village.  This picture is actually of the entrance of the Husky Park.  In the middle of December the snow has fallen and none of it has melted.  The interesting thing was that the local people were saying that that year there wasn't very much snow fall.  Which was unfortunate because not all of the dog sled runs were open yet.  But they were really expensive anyways.

Day 57: Helsinki

I was going to hang on to this picture and not really show it. The reason why is because I think that it would make an awesome album cover or something.  But then I realized that I would never actually need a picture like that.  So I am posting now.  I was at the Helsinki central train/bus station waiting for my bus to come and then I turned around and saw all of these posters and I was like "Perfect!"  So then I took a picture, purposely leaving my bag there.  I think it looks pretty great.

Day 35: Helsinki

This is the Uspenski Cathedral in Helsinki, Finland.  Unlike the other cathedrals that I have been going to and taking pictures this one was not Russian Orthodox.  It was actually a Lutheran church.  I am still curious as to what the church looked like inside but it wasn't open when we went.
This was one of the two distinct buildings that we could see as our cruise ship was coming into Helsinki.  I personally like the snow that is covering part of the roof.  I think it looks cool.

Day 28: Rovaniemi

This picture was taken December 2012.  It is the road that goes between Santa Claus Village and Santapark in Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland.  I am not sure if it is inside or outside the Arctic Circle.  But it is close.  It was getting dark even though the picture was taken about 2:30 pm.
