The senate square in central Helsinki is dominated by the the Helsinki cathedral. The statue standing in the middle of the square seen to the right here is of Alexander II. He was Russian tsar but also grand duke of Finland and had a statue to him to commemorate that he had given Finland increased autonomy in the mid 19th century - before it diminished again.
This was shot in the evening on a spring evening with the sun slowly disappearing below the horizon and the blue hour just beginning.
For other photos from Finland you can look at my Finland / Suomi set.
You should watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format.

Motif Number 1, located on Bradley Wharf in the harbor town of Rockport, Massachusetts, is a fishing shack well known to students of art and art history as "the most often-painted building in America".
Built in the 1840s as Rockport became home to a colony of artists and fishermen, the shack became a favorite subject of painters due to the composition and lighting of its location as well as being a symbol of New England maritime life. Painter Lester Hornby (1882-1956) is believed to be the first to call the shack "Motif Number 1" a reference to its being the favorite subject of the town's painters, and the name achieved general acceptance.
In the 1930s, painter John Buckley used the shack as his studio. He sold it to the town in 1945. In 1945, the town of Rockport purchased the Motif as a monument to Rockporters who had served in the Armed Services. The town, recognizing its iconic value, has taken pains to preserve both its structure and appearance, finding a red paint which appears weather-beaten even when new, and keeping the area clear of overhead wires, traffic signs and advertising.
The shack was destroyed during the Blizzard of 1978, but an exact replica was constructed that same year.
It wasn't me! They knew I was there and were curious, but deemed me harmless. This was part of their own evening games.
