Suomenlinna - The Fortress

Suomenlinna is a 15 minute ferry ride away from downtown Helsinki and it's a lovely place to enjoy a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I actually managed to get Jarkko away from the computer for a few hours yesterday and we had a bit of a picnic on Suomenlinna. It's a place where flowers grow on the bastions and around the old cannons that were once militarily strategic on the archipelago. It's peaceful in spite of all the tourists and the residents on the island. I took a few pictures and hope to return when the seasons change.
