Estonian Winter + Books

Some photos of winter in Estonia:

Park in Tallinn

Doors freeze from inside at minus 25 Celsius

Macedonian flag brings a bit of sunshine to Tallinn

Trees apparently

Slowly freezing sea

Keila Waterfall in Winter

Frozen river

  1. Really like the pic of the doors, can't be much isolation.

  2. Thank you for great photos! I lived the first six years of my life in Estonia, but remember very little of it since I was too young. But your pictures are filling in those gaps in memory;-)))

    1. book shop is in old town: http://slothrops.ee/page/a-bit-about-us
      it's this narrow street that starts next to mcdonalds and leads to Drink Bar, u pass by a stip club and then you'll probably see a chair and a table with books outside - that's the shop. and they have decent prices as well.
