Tallinn, Estonia

2007.11.20
The most obvious entrance into the old town in Tallinn. The left side of the street is lined with nothing but flower shops.

Closer to the entrance.

The other side of the image above.

This is another view of the gate at the entrance to the old town.

Streets of Tallinn's old town.

A colourful door and a bike.

One of the passages into the main square. The sun has gone down by about 3:50pm, so the light is at a low angle all day (in November, anyway)

The main square in the old town (remember, you can click on the images to get a larger view).

Girls hading out samples of candied almonds that are made on the street by the Olde Hansa Restaurant.

Old Town Hall

More of that low angle light in the afternoon.

Nice Knockers.

This street is lined with merchant stalls selling wool hats, sweaters, scarves, and mittens.

Typical selection of woolen items for sale on the street.

You can get up higher for some nice views.

Just a detail that caught my eye.

Outside the Olde Hansa Restaurant.

Dinner at Olde Hansa. This medieval themed restaurant is almost bordering on corny, but the food was really good! My friends Al and Helena are at the bottom of the photo. Note the three-piece band up in the little loft playing period instruments. I didn't notice them there for a long time; I thought it was a recording playing. :)

An illuminated tent outside Olde Hansa.

I was in the city of Tallinn, in Estonia for about 10 days in November. I was there as a juror for the international competition in the Sleepwalkers student film festival. After my duties with Sleepwalkers was over, I stayed for the Animated Dreams festival. Most of my time was spent in and around the historic old town.
