Here are some harbor and street views of Helsinki, taken on February 4th. The city doesn't look too bad, does it?

There is one work day left this week, and then I'm on vacation. Lots of walking in forests and swamps, with some culture mixed in, that would be fine. Visit a museum, and an art gallery, perhaps a little bit of music also. And enjoy walking in the flooded forests and swamps - this is why it is good to have tall rubber boots, isn't it?
