The Senate Square in Helsinki

A popular spot in Helsinki is the Senate Square shown in the pictures.  At the north end of the square is the beautiful Lutheran Cathedral, and in the square area there was a unique exhibition of giant painted bears, shown in the pictures. Karen is standing beside Canada's bear.  There is a different bear for each of 146 countries in the United Nations, and each bear is a unique work of art.
