[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
I never thought I would add another shot of the Helsinki Cathedral to TrekEarth. But then I saw an opportunity to take a picture from a higher viewpoint that usual, from a parked truck. Besides, it really is great looking building.

Helsinki Cathedral (Helsingin Tuomiokirkko) was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel, like many other empire style buildings in the centre of Helsinki. It was built 1830-1852.

The statue in front is of Alexander II, Emperor of Russia and Grand Duke of Finland (1818 - 1881).

Hello Kari,

Excellent shot of this incredible building. It seems to be really huge;) And its white colour give superb character. I would also like to see the cathedral from different POV - without this statue.

Well done!
Greetings,
Mikeo

Hi Kari, amazing one, with a wonderufl deep blue sky on the back and wodnerful tones and light.
excellent job.
thanks, ciao

Excellent sharpness and light, Kari, to present this cathedral. The touch of color, brought by the flowers and the people, is useful. Regards, Daniel

Hello Kari.
I like this colorful picture, exposed to preserve all the details of the white facade.
I like the polarized (?) sky the people and the flowers around the monument.
Best regards.

Hi Kari, you found yourself a good viewpoint on that parked truck. You have great clear lines to the building, with the monument nicely portrayed up front. Nice lines seen here in the building with great colour contrasts seen between the building and roof, and building and that great sky.

Thanks, John

Hi Kari,
Beautiful vertical presentation this wonderful cathedral. The green domes contrast strikingly with the vivid blue sky while the foreground flowers reall anchors this image very effectively. The old statues and building are seen in very sharp details.
Regards, Tom

Kari,
always at the look for the perfect POV, hehehe. Climbing around on trucks of other people to get a better view? It would have been nice to have the link to your previous post of this place and compare the improvement with your higher POV.

Kari,
Great vertical format choice here, and I like a lot the saturated colors and strong contrasts.
Very pleasant one, and great architecture catch too.
Regards,
JB.

Hei Kari,
Yes, this really is one of the most beautiful building in Helsinki. This POV is really good and I like the colors of this photo.
Well captured!

Terveisin,
Eino

I've seen, and taken a few photos of this cathedral, but this is special because of the spring vegetation, the sky, and the touch of family life in the fg that adds life to the scene, I like the way the sunlight brings out the golden stars in the smaller domes.
