Vantaa City Hall (Kaupungin Talo)

This is Vantaa City Hall in Tikkurlia. The coat of arms of Vantaa is seen here. It was designed by Kullervo Telamaa in 1951. The official explanation is such that with the blue fields underneath, a silver wave sails with a golden fish tail pointed towards the right.

(Virallisen selityksen mukaan vaakunassa on ”sinisessä kentässä alainen, aaltokoroinen hopeahirsi, josta oikealle kaartuva kultainen kalanpyrstö”.)

Oh, I liked the enlarged view. Your explanation makes more sense then with a closer view. Good job!
