The Sibelius Monument

One of the most under rated features of Helsinki is the wonderful Sibelius monument. Last time I tried to photograph it, a couple of years ago, I was invaded by a bus load of Japanese tourists. This time I decided to beat the bunch by arriving at 9.30am. As I got there, the coast was clear. nobody in sight. Just me. I hadn't even focused the first frame when THEY arrived. Not one bus load but TEN and not Japanese but Chinese. Seems like the Chinese are the new modern tourists.
