Comments are very much appreciated.


The origins of Tallinn date back to the 13th century, when a castle was built there by the crusading knights of the Teutonic Order. It developed as a major centre of the Hanseatic League, and its wealth is demonstrated by the opulence of the public buildings (the churches in particular) and the domestic architecture of the merchants' houses, which have survived to a remarkable degree despite the ravages of fire and war in the intervening centuries.

Wow, those are great. I'm going to be in Tallin the first week of July and now I can't wait! Do you live in Tallin?

Very nice work. Interesting approach by using the lights as a focal point. Kind of difficult to find settings like those you used here in the states.

No, I live in Finland. But Estonia/Tallin is just a few hundred kilometers below Finland, on the other side of the Gulf of Finland. These images were taken during two short trips there. It's a lovely city, I think I have to go there again this summer. Enjoy your stay, if you are looking for picture taking opportunities, Old Town is your place :)
