A beautiful cathedral that we visited several years ago in Finland... “Porvoo Cathedral is a cathedral of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland in Porvoo, Finland. It was built in the 15th century, although the oldest parts date from the 13th century. It is the seat of the Diocese of Borgå, Finland's Swedish-speaking diocese.” Wikipedia

PS. Today 26.02.18 I wanted to check the owls (it's very cold outside this week) but I can't today... I'm in the office now. And it will be dark in the evening. I'll try tomorrow.

Two last photos on this site / Photo 2
I tried to explain in the previous photo (available only for friends) that I'm leaving from Flickr, but some people didn't understand this, didn't read the description and some didn't even see that photo.
Now I want to inform everyone. That's why I post here 2 photos. Maybe people will read the description at least of one of them.
Comments are closed.
I have a little time. That's why one more photo today. 😊

The island of Katajanokanluoto (Skatakobben) is situated at less than 10 minutes boat ride from Helsinki and open to the public in the summer. Katajanokanluoto is considered a valuable part of Finnish maritime history. Today, this charming island is a restaurant with an environmentally friendly profile and produces its own electricity with solar panels.

Casino Helsinki is a casino located in Helsinki, Finland, located less than a ten minute walk from Central Railway Station. It's owned by government-owned Veikkaus and is one of the few casinos in the world, and the second in Finland, to donate all of its profits to charity. The other non-profit casino in Finland is Paf which donates all of its profits from the autonomous Åland islands. Casino Helsinki employs around 200 people, and it had around 305,000 visitors in 2009 with around 30 million euros of revenue.
The casino is open 363 days a year from 12PM to 4AM. It has around 300 slot machines, over 20 gaming tables and a poker room. The two-story casino has around 2,600 square metres (28,000 sq ft) of space.
