Hey Steemians and greetings from a frosty Helsinki!
Yesterday was the best weather in Helsinki for several weeks, a few minus degrees with a clear blue sky. It was a great day to go for a 22 kilometers run in the Central Park. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pics as I was only enjoying the run and the weather.
I was gonna write about the lightshow Lux Helsinki, that is on now (6th to 10th of January). This is an exhibition of the art of light on several different places in downtown Helsinki.
I went to the starting point on the opening evening on Saturday but as it was really crowdy I decided not to go that evening. For not coming in to the city center in vain, I decided to go for an alternative stroll around the southern parts of Helsinki. 
Helsinki City Hall lighted in respect to the Finnish 100 years of Independence. This pic is about one month old.
I was especially impressed by the houses in Eira, which probably is the most expensive part of Helsinki. For you, not familiar to the town, Eira is a residential area in jugend style consisting of villas, that were built for about one hundred years ago. The area is the southernmost in Helsinki and has a gorgeous sea-view. People living here are considered to be rich and here are several embassies and restaurants.
The tower in the Koff park in Punavuori.
I hope, I will get you some photos from Lux Helsinki lightshow still! It depends if I’ve time to go into the city center in the coming days. Waiting for that you can watch some pictures from the official website!

Last year the show was visited by over half a million people (source: https://www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-2000005042594.html). That doesn’t maybe sound so much but I consider it being a lot in a city of 630 000 people. I guess more people will visit it this year.
Have a good one!
