A city in five images

FINLAND
Helsinki is the largest city in Finland. It's the region of Uusimaa, located in southern Finland, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, an arm of Baltic Sea. The population of the city of Helsinki is 588,941 (31, Jan 2011).making it by far the most municipality in Finland.

Helsinki is spread across a number of bays and peninsulas and over a number of islands. Population density in certain parts of Helsinki's inner city area is very high, reaching 16,494 inhabitants in kilometres in the district of Kallio.

I picked this image because this is a view seen from spot satellite. And also, you can see numerous islands, bays, and peninsulas in this image and i believe this is important to start with.

Helsinki Cathedral is an Evangelical Lutheran Cathedral of the Diocese of Helsinki, located in the exact centre of Helsinki. A distinct landmark in the scenery of central Helsinki, with a tall green dome surrounded by four smaller domes, the church was built in 1830-52, in neoclassical style.

The reason why i chose this image was because this Cathedral was built exactly in the centre of Helsinki, and it became one of the landmark's in Finland.

Finlandia Hall is a concert hall with a congress wing in Helsinki. The building was designed by Alvar Aalto. This work began in 1967 and completed in 1971. The main features of the building's exterior are the great horizontal mass of the building proper and the towering auditorium that rises above it. The main external wall material is Carrara marble and with copper roofs, which have acquired a green pantina, and teak window frames.

Another reason why i chose this picture was because that this building by Alvar Aalto, who built so many other buildings such as Auditorium of University of Technology.

Aleksanterinkatu is a street in the centre of Helsinki. The street begins near the Presidential Palace and continues to meet with Mannerheimintie, the longest street in Helsinki. It runs past several famous buildings, such as Ritarihuone (the seat of Finnish nobility), the Helsini Cathedral.

This is just a street photo but still, this street is famous for the length, where it was linked with and shops around so many tourist visit this place.

Helsinki Swimming Stadium is a popular refreshment place for citizens. It is open from the beginning of May to the end of September. It is a popular place, and in summertime it is visited by about 5000 swimmers every day. The Stadium has three pools: a 50 metre exercise swimming pool, a jumping pool and a children's pool, and a small, shallow, round wading pool for small children a litter further away. The jumping pool has two 1 metre and two 3 metre high springboards, and a 1 metre plateau in front of the jumping tower. The area also has a water slide, a gym, a basketball field, a volleyball field, a table tennis table and a café.
