anastamoses
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.
