Photo Friday with a difference this week.

I have started a photoblog, so instead of posting a picture here, I'm posting a link to my photoblog instead.

Let me know what you think.

Tallinn

We got back from Estonia yesterday. Fortunately, it wasn't as cold as it has been over the past few weeks. Sunday was the coldest, dropping down to about 3 degrees C. Better than last week's -17C!

The city of Tallinn, capital of Estonia, is magnificent. A beautifully preserved Medieval City. Church spires stretch up into the sky at regular intervals, all surrounded by a very well preserved city wall. Standing guard is 'Fat Margaret', a tower which used to be the gateway between the city and the ancient port.

The port is now one of the busiest on the Baltic Sea, with more visitors arriving in Tallinn by sea than by any other means. Helsinki is a mere 80km away by ferry.

We also had some fantastic food - from fat, juicy steak to delicious pork fillet. And as for desserts. Wow! According to legend, marzipan was invented in Tallinn.

After a 48 hour whirlwind tour of the city (including a rather depressing zoo), we headed home with sore feet and a little bit of a sun-tan!

Photos to follow.

Foto Friday


It's Friday and that means photo time.

What can I dig out for you this time? How about this one?

It was taken in Melbourne in November last year. The river is the Yarra and in the distance you can see the MCG and the Pat Rafter tennis centre.

Have a good weekend.

Holiday snaps Part II - Cape Town

I'm finally getting through the 1100 photos (yes, I found more on my camera), so it's time to post a few more pics.

Part II is a short summary of our trip to Cape Town. Unfortunately, the weather was pretty overcast for most of the time, but below are my favourites.
