Nope, it’s a pedantic English joke, Finnishness aside. Pedestrian can mean quotidian/boring/common, so I was saying it that it doesn’t look as boring as you’ve said it is, if that makes sense. It’s a great shot
Perhaps other bridges in Helsinki are far more impressive aesthetically? Finland is a really neat place. That being said, this is still a very lovely bridge

Bingo! 👍
It doesn’t look that pedestrian, it’s fairly aesthetically pleasing really.
A bridge for pedestrian use.
Is this some kind of a North American joke I'm too Finnish to understand?

Would've assumed it a joke if it was just one comment, but had to confirm. Thanks for the compliment and the clarification!
