Helsinki Part 2

A bunch more pictures from my last day in Helsinki. It should be noted that Helsinki is a city of churches.

Temppeliaukio Church - It has very good acoustics so it is often used for concerts. The walls are made entirely of rock.

The park was very pretty.

Sibelius Monument with an effigy of the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius in the back. It was very big. According to Wikipedia, there are 600 pipes and it's 8.5 × 10.5 × 6.5 metres.
