Helsinki: The Cholera Basin at the Market Square in the blue twilight of the spring night.
Gré Lamain
Very nice picture, with those lines and colours. Why do you name it a basin. Is it closed from the sea? It's such quiet water!

Hi! You take really nice photos, I enjoy them very much, indeed! :)
Gré Lamain asked you why a "basin"; I am also interested in why is it called "cholera" basin?
Keep up the good work!
Cheers from Prague

Gré & Yvette, thanks! :)
By clicking the link in the caption you get a map, where the Cholera Basin is located in the middle. You can see it's connected to the sea, but usually the water there gathers a lot of junk. Beneath the map you find a short explanation of the origin of the name. Actually I didn't know why it's called the Cholera Basin until I published this photo and looked for some information about it.
