tags: anastamoses, Suomenlinna, Helsinki, Finland, image of the day Here's a picture of some really cold birds .. but thanks to the wonders of evolution and anastamoses, their feet haven't frozen off! Photographed from the ferry that runs between Helsinki and Suomenlinna on Kalevalapaäivä (Kalevala Day). Suomenlinna is one of my favorite places to visit in Helsinki, Finland.
