Helsinki

Helsinki is a beautiful city on the shores of the Baltic Sea. It is a relatively small city and well planned by city officials to include bike paths, for the swarms of bicycle traffic on its busy thorough fares.

It is the culture of the great silence and because of its history and geographic position has developed an opaque quietness and reserve.

However, as I walked Helsinki's beautiful streets and made my life there for a while, I feel I glimpsed the dept's of the pool below the opaque reserve. Some of the shadows in the pool were disturbing and others made me laugh, as a glint of light illuminateted the shadows.
