Toompea (Cathedral Hill), a photo from Harjumaa, West

Photographer's Note

The Toompea (Domberg) or "Cathedral Hill", which was the seat of the central authority, first the ruling bishops, then the Teutonic Order, then the Baltic German nobility; it is today the seat of the Estonian government and many embassies and residencies.
The Old Town, which is the old Hanseatic town, the "city of the citizens" - this was not administratively united with the Hill until the late 19th century. It was the centre of the medieval trade on which it grew prosperous.

Szia Gyuri,
egy 齹abb sz廧 fot� kiv跐� r跐輆跴sal. A sz髶ek sz廧en tel鮅ettek, a f幯y is eg廥zen j� csak az a fr跣ya 嶲bolt t灦 vil跰os. Ha nem veszed rossz n憝en megpr瀢跐tam egy WS-t,hogy a h輆t廨rel csin跐jak valamit. Eloszor egy kicsit besot彋itettem az eget,hogy jobban kirajzol瀩janak a felho s輁ok,majd kivil跰os鮅ottam a k廧 tobbi r廥z彋廥 a sz髶 telitetts嶲bol is visszavettem egy kicsit. Rem幨em nem rontottam el a sz廧 k廧edet.
Szia.

Hi, George
I have never been to Tallinn, so,I think, you gave me a chance to look at its beautiful image. Great composition and colors. It is a pity, the sky didn't cooperate. Very well done

Hi, George! Another nice pic of a surprising city (for me)! You've captured it in a great composition, making it easy to see the walled old town. Thnks for sharing! Greetings from Rio! Miguel.

Good and unusual PoV for a view of Tallinn, most people, including me, use the wall the hill as a PoV for th old town. This really catches the story book illustration look of the place, the OS not too much here IMO.
