Porvoo
The Temppeliaukio Kirkko (Rock Church) is a thrilling work of modern architecture in Helsinki. Completed in 1969, it is built entirely underground and has a ceiling made of copper wire.
We were greeted by a band in Stockholm.
Palace door - decorated with ivy in honor of the wedding of the Princess a few days before we arrived. I'm glad we missed the wedding...
Changing of the guards - seems like we saw this a lot.
The different uniforms are because they are from different regiments.
The iron boy statue is also called Jarnpojke, and was created by Liss Eriksson in 1919. The Iron Boy is found in a small courtyard behind the Finnish Church near the Royal Palace. Nuns at a nearby convent and little old ladies knit caps and sweaters for the Iron Boy to ward off Stockholm's cold winter weather.

A mirror to watch the neighbors.
The flag is flying at the Royal Palace - that is where the first picture of the door with ivy was taken.
