Estonia

As soon as I saw this card in Eda's trade album, I knew I had to have in in my collection. Eda agreed and a few days ago this fantastic landscape view reached my mailbox. The photo (taken by Ingmar Muusikus) is just brilliant - colours, shades, the wooden fence... Everything! Thanks, Eda :)

As I wrote in the last post, I won't write much. Enjoy this beautiful view over Tallinn Old Town from the north. Have I mentioned that I consider Estonian postcards one of the most beautiful? If I haven't, I annonce it now. If you are from Estonia and wanna trade with me, my e-mail address is: aditufek@gmail.com.

Estonia

Rakvere is a town in the northern Estonia situated 20 kilometers south of the Gulf of Finland. The postcard shows Rakvere ruins of medieval castle. Rakvere got its old name from that castle, mentioned first time in 1226, wrote Karin, the sender of this card.

Rakvere is also known for its Tarvas statue of auroch. It is situated on the edge of Vallimägi hill and was erected for the town's 700th birthday. Along with the granite block it sits on, the statue is seven meters long, four meters high and weighs about seven tons. The motto of the town is: "Full of power",  also connected to the auroch.

  

Karin sent me this nice card. I always like to learn and read interesting history stories and legends. History is getting more and more interesting  to me each day thanks to many nice people who send me beautiful cards and tell me interesting legends. Thanks, Karin :)

Estonia :)

As I have many cards to post and scan, I will just let you enjoy this nice view of Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia. Its old town is listed on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. Thanks, Karin!
