Tallinn Scenes, 2

 More Tallinn scenes from our 4 day visit...

And another art nouveau

Approaching the big city square; the young woman on
the multi-string violin was really good

Big square and Gothic city hall

Also on the square: peering into an apothecary said
to be Europe's oldest

More of the square

Dragon downspout on the city hall

Amber stores all over

Unlike Riga, Tallinn is definitely on the cruise ship beaten track;
every here and there, port excursion groups, mostly in English
(too)

Among the many traditional buildings

An art deco now and then

Old gate towers, the modern city beyond

Another day, we are walking down to the port...bug hotels in a city park

Ferry to Helsinki parking lot

Scandinavia has some of the steepest liquor prices in the world; it's 

obviously worth it to take the 2 hour ferry to Tallinn where one can

get more competitive prices at this, the largest liquor store I have ever 

seen

Cruise ships in port

Large concrete road barriers in the shape of doves;
tank obstacles for when Putin heads this way

Old fortress/prison at the harbor

Helpful map of the area

Out there, Finland...turn right and you're 200 miles from St. Petersburg
