i took a weekend holiday to visit the city of tallinn, estonia, just across the gulf of finland from helsinki. this is the alexander nevsky cathderal in tallinn, a little preview of the places i will see in russia... |
|
| life can be harsh even in a beautiful setting. |
|
|
artists hang their work on the medieval city wall made of stone adorned with the twisting green branches of ivy. |
|
| these two magnificent towers form the eastern gate into the city. |
|
|
the brilliant colors of the houses make quite an impression under the rays of the sun passing through a cloudless estonian sky. |
|
| likewise... |
|
|
elevation changes in a city allow you to get different perspectives on the same scene; san francisco, california benefits greatly from that, so does tallinn. |
|
|
someone planted this garden right in front of the tower of the city wall just so i could take this picture. thanks dude. |
|
|
does this even look real? i had to recover from the hard smack of awe before i could pose for this picture. the towers along the city wall in tallinn. |
|
|
i took several consecutive photos and then pieced them together on my computer to create
this panoramic shot of the old town of tallinn. |
