Religious dream

It there has ever been a time in life to become religious entering into Temppeliaukio may be it. I have seen some beautiful churches and cathedrals throughout Europe but never had a feeling of being totally in harmony. My religious views are I do not have any, but I do not think you need to be religious to attend a service at this beautiful wonder. Or maybe I have found God in my time of need!? (edit: witty outburst has been removed due to the public status of blog. An American approach has been taken by not being offensive to anyone) Entering you head towards the light…The cave that you first enter is lost as light fills the space as a mix of bronze, rock, concrete and timber curve around your every step. Sitting on a pew time passes by and bus after bus load of tourist flood through… If you have time the almost empty church feels as cosy as your own couch, highly recommend you wait it out.


Central ceiling is made from brass & in some light appears almost timber. It is a fantastic sight to see as the light filters in fron the sides.



My apologies for the bad images… new ones will follow as I will revisit.
