In English:

I visited on Tuesday in Helsinki just to see the winter lightshow. The main area where it was presented was the area in front of the Helsinki Cathedral. The Cathedral is white and that is why it is excellent building to change its color.

En español:

Visité el martes en Helsinki para ver el espectáculo de luces de invierno. El área principal donde se presentó fue la zona situada frente a la Catedral de Helsinki. La Catedral es de color blanco y es por eso que está un edificio excelente para cambiar su color.

That’s such a beautiful structure all in white! It’s awesome in color! What a beautiful sight in winter!

Hi Montucky.

Snow white is easy to change color. It was cold, too cold with Arctic wind coming from Siberia, when I photographed these photos. I had to take photos using gloves and mittens in my hands. It is unimaginable how cold the body of camera can be during winter.

Have a wonderful day!

Excellent photo series once again Sartenada!
My favourite photo is the Cathedral in the soft purple colour, in the last three photos. The building in the first photo isn’t the Cathedral is it?… but it’s beautiful under the lights too. I hope there was a warm room and a hot drink somewhere close by after this photo shoot to warm you (and your freezing camera) back up!

- Hi kiwidutch.
  
  Thank You. In the first photo You can see the facade of the University of Helsinki. Well, after shooting my photos I went to the main railway station to warm myself beside of a nice hot cup of coffee. Inside the Railway station there is old historic restaurant Eliel. It was built in 1922 and planned by our famous architect Eliel Saarinen. Actually the son (Eero) of Eliel is more famous than his father. Eero Saarinen created for example the famous Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. Okay, I get lost in by-paths which are my vice. Sorry!
  
  Have a wonderful day.

Beautiful and clear pictures! I love the colors. How did you manage to take such clear photos? Did you use a tripod?

Comment by Nadezhda Konovalova — January 7, 2011 @ 11:36 | Reply
- Hello Nadezhda.
  
  Thank You commenting. You made a very good question. I do not own tripod, but I have been thinking to get one. In these photos I used ISO 3200. When shooting, I stop to breathe holding by one hand on camera’s body and by the other hand at the end of lenses. Sometimes during summer I also listen to my heart beats and shoot between them, but now it was not possible, because it was cold and having my beanie deeply over my head, I could not listen to heart beats not even in my ears.
  
  Have a nice day.

I always enjoy light shows in towns, but this is especially beautiful with the snow. I particularly like the close-up of the clock tower in number 11.

Every photo has been worth photograph! But so few people seem to be there, how long was this performance? How was the weather?

- Hello Leena.
  
  I guess that the low number of this show has something to do with the cold. Not only the cold, but the cold hard wind. The cooperative action (cold & wind) means that it is feeling on the skin more cold than it is reality. It lasted about 20 minutes and started every half an hour, so I was told. The show is terminating after this week.

Hello Matti,
Les plus frileux n’hésiteront pas à sortir pour un tel spectacle ! Il réchauffe le coeur… et c’est bien là l’essentiel !! 😉
Magnifique.
Bises et bon week-end.

  Bien dite, j’aimais ça! Je suis une personne qui souffre du froid, mais pas du chaud. Assez de vêtements c’est la solution contre le froid. Je ce que je n’ai pas dit que je devais marcher à ma voiture à peu près deux kilomètres dans le vent froid, mais c’est la vie!
  
  Merci beaucoup.

Good morning Matti,
From this series, I am again impressed. The first picture is a great introduction for this series. What is the purpose of the building? Figures 6 to 8 and 11 are my favorites. In Figure 6, I like the different colors in the cross. In Figure 11 I like the soft blue. In all the pictures is the architecture, including the colors, excellent expression. The beautiful colors remind me of the fantastic ice church. For those photos, I used a tripod, so nothing wobbles. I think that you had in these cold temperatures, cold fingers. I also feel the chill in my fingers when I make snow photos. I thank you for allowing me to watch this series and look forward to the next photos to your blog. Thank you for all your nice comments in recent days. I try to keep visiting your blog. We wish you and Anja, all the best and health on your common everyday ways. Dear greetings Christel and Detlev

- Hi Christel.
  
  I explain those buildings in my photos. In the first photo You can see the facade of University (founded in 1640) building. It is from 1832 and was drawn by German architect Carl Ludvig Engel. I give here the link to Wikipedia in which there is more detailed info:

  In photo 4, there is the Government Palace and drawn again by Carl Ludvig Engel.
  
  In the photo number 5, there are some old buildings opposite the Cathedral. Thank You for Your visit and nice comment.

Matti – this is just an amazing sight – I would travel far to watch that, I’m glad you went there and showed us this! I have not seen anything like that here in Denmark. It is a great idea to make such a lightshow. Specially here in the dark winter 😉

- Hi Truels.
  
  Thank You commenting. You just touched the main idea. To get some light during the most dark time of the winter. Touché! So nice that You liked my photos!

Wow!! This is so magical and beautiful!
The light has totally transformed the religious buildings into something so modern and creative.
A few years ago, we also had similar things projected on the Parliament, St Paul’s Cathedral, etc.
But I don’t see them anymore in recent years…
Sad, I wonder if that’s because of the economic downturn?

- Hello London Caller.
  
  Thank You for Your visit and leaving Your comment. I guess, as You did, that economical reasons might determine what cities or towns are offering to their citizens with their tax money.
