178 RGRL#2 The Cathedral

I believe there're so many fine architectures all over the world that we never fully appreciate each of them. Sometimes, some of them are even possibly underestimated. The Helsinki Cathedral is one of the famous symbol of the city but I think it would deserve more special reputation. I've heard of the breathtaking contrast of the snow white exterior and the blue sky. I was lucky to have the view in my own eyes. The cathedral fascinated me with beauty of not solely the symmetrical neo-classical design but also of simplicity and quietness. This is actually a grand building but never be obsessive nor noisy. On top of the front stairs with the wind from near sea, there exists, simply, a pure beauty and calmness.
