Boat Watching in Helsinki's Port Area
Because Helsinki is a port city, I couldn't leave the walk along the coastline out...
At some point, Helsinki looked a very little bit like Stockholm.
There's not much to comment about this, better view the photos.
Thankfully my hotel was situated in the port area, so it was easy to discover the nearby ships and other attractions.
What I didn't like about this part of Helsinki was the fact that anyone could literally walk into the sea - no lights, no fences, nothing was attracting the attention. I didn't see a single "hey be careful" sign anywhere...
Here are several photos of what I saw in this area...

A huge crane in the port. I could even imagine a luxury apartment up there.

Mini boat. I guess it's analogous to the small car.

Old buildings along the coast... this sight somewhat made me think of Stockholm. It's a bit similar.

There was quite a substantial number of motor yachts (look: behind the red boat)

I love catamarans!
Actually, I think these are more abundant in warmer waters.
