Helsinki. A City Journal

How does one create a book about a city which changes completely from season to season? Helsinki is such a city: her architecture takes on different aspects as the year passes, and her contrasting moods are further influenced by the omnipresence of a changeful sea. American journalist Anne Roston Korkeakivi and English photographer Tim Bird have solved the problem by celebrating these changes themselves, charting the progress of a year in Helsinki, from the explosive advent of Spring, through the luxuriant sunshine of summer, into the testing autumn and the enigmatic half-light of winter. By means of a poetic narrative and over 80 full color photographs, this book reflects Helsinki's subtle shades and relates in affectionate detail the story of a typical ever-eventful year in the life of the Finnish capital.
