V - Viapori
Jun 18th, 2008 by Juha Ylitalo
In Mrs. Nesbitt’s ABC Wednesday, we are now going on letter V. I came up with two options: Vuosaari and Viapori. Viapori is the old name for Suomenlinna. Name was changed from finnish Viapori (Sveaborg in swedish) to Suomenlinna in 1918, one year after Finland claimed to be an independent country instead of being a part of Soviet Union.
This photograph is from Piper’s cafe, which is located next to big lawns in Susisaari, where Finns and tourists come for picnic on warm sunny days.
For more photographs: Suomenlinna photo album.
Technical information: Canon EOS 40D & Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4 AT-X Pro DX (13mm, 1/640s, f/8, ISO200)
What a friendly and fun looking place. Kiitos for these Vs.
Shalom to you in Finland.
