European Vacation - Part III

An Assortment of Things Up High in Helsinki


Spheres and crosses on top of the National Church.


A weathervane and lots of domes on office buildings.


Here's a close up of the weathervane with date 1885.  Is it a dragon, chicken, what?


More gold crosses on top of the Orthodox Church. (To be featured in a separate post.)


More spheres and a ladder leading to them.


The flag of Finland.
Correction: the flag of Sweden - must have been on top of their Embassy.


This sphere topper looked like a frog from this way.


Front view shows it is something with two heads.


Another cross on a sphere.  The rest of it is a lighthouse on a church on Suomenlinna - the sea fortress islands in the waters near Helsinki.
