LUX HELSINKI began on Wednesday evening, illuminating the Finnish capital in freezing weather that felt close to -30 degrees Celsius.

Nevertheless, tourists and some locals were “out and about” in downtown Helsinki, observing one spectacle after another.

It’s truly fascinating what a set of LEDs and a creative mind can do to the facade of a 19th-century building.

And when the light show is accompanied by an appropriate soundtrack, it’s easy to forget the biting frost on your face.
