Old door

Rasmus Q. — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:11:41 +0000

This door is somewhat unique because others like this are renovated or gone. Probably same will happen to this door, depending on the house - will it be renovated or replaced with some new and boring building.

Autumn Panorama With River

Rasmus Q. — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:07:00 +0000

This photo was taken last weekend near Estonian-Latvian border. Unfortunately there is no Latvia on this picture (it’s about one kilometer to the right). The problem wasn’t that there was no view but that there was strong wind and drizzling rain straight to the face and lens. On the picture the haziness of the far distances is also because of rain.

On the picture you can see somewhat typical Estonian autumn with yellow leaves and some rain. The river on the right is Mustjõgi (Black river) that about after a kilometer flows to the Koiva river that for over 20 km is the border river between Estonia and Latvia.

Former Underground Shelter

Rasmus Q. — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:23:38 +0000

I went mushroom picking the other day, but instead of mushrooms I found a former underground shelter. Maybe it’s too late for mushrooms but just the right time for shelters. Since the shelter was in such a bad condition and too big to bring home I took a picture instead. There’s not much left of it, the roof has collapsed and the only part standing as meant to be, is the entrance. If you look carefully you may see it on the right.

The question is who built and used this shelter. For boys it’s too well built and there’s no houses nearby. The other possible explanation is that the shelter belonged to two famous Estonian outlaws, the Voitka brothers. They were wanted for fourteen years, most of it they lived in forests and were finally caught in year 2000.

Sunset

Rasmus Q. — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:05:16 +0000

When I was driving home the sky got cooler as the Sun was setting. Unfortunately I had no time to drive around and search for a better spot for taking pictures. So I just stopped a couple of times and took some shots. One is here. Hopefully it gives some idea how cool and strange it really was.

Wedding Decoration Rose

Rasmus Q. — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:49:30 +0000

Next morning after the wedding, this rose was sitting on the window sill of the breakfast hall. The day before it was a part of the wedding decoration, now facing the boring routine of everyday life.
