Today we are visiting Kotka, a small town near the Russian border, 120 km east of Helsinki. It is cold, -10 °C to -12 °C, and the wind bites hard because of the nearness of the sea. There is snow as much as in Helsinki - none (except for a couple of millimeters of frost here and there). The sculpture is in the Sibelius park in the center of Kotka. The view in the second photo is from the Palotorninmäki hill towards west.
