Impressing. The Stora Enso head office is one of the most ugly buildings in Finland build in one of the worst possible locations hiding the beautiful Uspenski Cathedral. But you have managed to take a photo where they seem to be in some harmony. But still... all we make mistakes, even Alvar Aalto.

Yes, Tomi, the building actually looked surprisingly good with the "candles" in the windows. I guess that's why I took the picture and even published it. :) For those who don't know how (ugly) the building usually lookes like, you might be able to see it in the frequently updated webcam picture from the South Harbour:
