A Walk around Töölönlahti (Töölö Bay)

Töölönlahti is centrally located in Helsinki. Because it is near the Sibelius Academy, I often find myself in its vicinity. There is a great walking path around it and I took some pics of it and interesting places near it the other day.





This is the Olympic Stadium, which hosted the 1952 Summer Olympics. It was supposed to host the 1940 Olympics, but it was cancelled due to World War II. This is where I go for my salsa classes. And there's also a youth hostel here.
















The City Winter Garden. A good place to relax.











Nice view of the bay. The building in the distance is the Finnish National Opera (Kansallisooppera).














My favorite trees.










And finally, Kiasma, the Museum of Contemporary Art. The words on the building say something to the effect of: 'I don't quite get it', which I think is great, since many people find contemporary art difficult to understand.
