The link below takes readers to a page of pictures from 2005 reflecting some of the items that made news in Finland during the past year.
We have limited ourselves to domestic matters, as coverage of international events such as the earthquake in Kashmir, the changeover at The Vatican, or the flooding in New Orleans are best left to other sources. Some of the stories, for example Martti Ahtisaari's involvement in the Aceh peace talks in Vantaa or the fatal helicopter crash in Tallinn, were nevertheless international by nature.
Each of the captions to the images is prefaced by a month, and interested readers can find background by searching the Archives for the respective months.
Simply click on the thumbnail picture at right to bring up a larger image.
