Tallinn & Riga

[Macc]

Spent a long weekend visiting two of the Baltic States, primarily Tallinn but with Riga having cheaper flights back to Copenhagen I took a bus there to spend a night and check it out.

In Tallinn I spent most of the time walking around the Old Town and then spent another afternoon at Patarei Prison, an ex-Soviet prison battery close to the water.

Just a few from Riga, I only had an afternoon there but it was also a great place - was quite lucky with the weather that day too.

Now that’s my sort of photography. W-I-D-E, nice angles and composition, diverse subject matter, moody; including peeling paint and barbed wire, .. love it. Thanks for posting …

Lovely shots. You can tell its not the Uk - clean litter free streets.

On a recent cruise to the Baltic States I stopped off in Tallinn in Estonia to pay homage to one of my all time motoring heroes. The photos of Tallinn brought back
painful memories.
