Tallinn - favorite photos taken in unexpected places

Last week I spent a few days visiting my friends in Estonia.  It was short but fantastic trip!  I have been visiting Estonia for the past 12 years and it is amazing how Tallinn changes each time I visit.  There are museums, cafe's, restaurants and tons of inspiration everywhere you look.  Below are a few of favorite photos, taken in some very unexpected places...

Patarei Prison - yeap, you read it correctly.  The below 2 photos were taken at a building which, originally built as a sea fortress, served as a prison for 85 years.


Not at the prison, this shop we passed while walking around old town. A very clever entrance.
 Tallinn.




The Teletorn TV tower in Tallinn has been remodeled and it is retro cool!

 A few unexpected inspirational photos from miscellaneous locations.



If you have never been to Estonia, I recommend putting it on your list of places to visit.  Tallinn is beautiful and busy and just a short drive away is peace and tranquility in the forest or by the sea.  Definitely one of my favorite places.

the art of collage: Estonia vintage postcards

I have discussed in this blog before how I love collage art. I guess that is what you call it...layers of images mixed with vintage fabrics and wallpapers. In the next few posts I will share a few items I picked up while traveling that are indications of this deep attraction I have.

A vintage Estonian postcard 1926I can see Anahata Katkin being inspired by the two people in this postcard.
