Helsinki June 23 2025 Suomenlinna Island

World Heritage site and a short half hour ferry ride from the waterfront.

Bicycles parked outside. These are residences. People live here on beautiful Suomenlinna Island. This is how they get around.

Cannons once lived here.

Entrance to the cannon battery in this fortified wall.

(An artillery batter a cluster of cannons in action as a group.)

Same tunnel. Four different exposures.

Oh no, Risk of falling.

Here is the danger. Oh my. If I were to slip down this path, I might get a scraped palm. Now compare that to the Katla Ice Cave excursion I took. Coming up later.

Casting off from Suomenlinna.

Onward to a visit to Helsinki’s Botanical Gardens.
