Tundub, et Inga ise ongi seesamune iidne “tumeaine” mis/kes ei taju aega, kohta ega kolmainsust.

Need laiskvorstid püüdku HIIRI ja olgu õnnelikud kui õhtul lambi alla lambijutule võetakse!

Naah!

Piisab 5m/2 maatükist ja lambist. Palju siis vaja on?

Motion through concrete silence

📷 City center

#estonia #tallinn #soviet #urban #landscape #brutalism #architecture #photography

Beneath the vast geometry of Linnahall’s Soviet brutalism, a cyclist blurs through a corridor of shadow and light. Once built for the 1980 Moscow Olympics, the concrete structure now stands as a relic of fading ideology. The image captures a quiet tension between permanence and movement - between history’s weight and the fleeting rhythm of the present.

Horizontal past – vertical future

A study of texture, time, and direction. The weathered wooden walls hold the memory of craftsmanship and endurance, while the upright lines suggest the persistence of hope and continuity.

Üsna pentsik on see viimase päeva kampaaniaorgia. Leidsin ennast jälle tegemas mingeid ajuvabu trajektoori sikk-sakke, et vältida seda magedat pealetükkivas vormis võltshoolivust.

Sacred silence

📷 Old town

#estonia #tallinn #medieval #urban #landscape #architecture #photography

On an autumn morning in Tallinn, the tower of Oleviste Church emerges faintly through a veil of fog. The soft monochrome tones evoke quiet reverence - a fleeting moment where history meets silence, and the city still sleeps beneath the mist.

Olen ka palju hääletanud. Ükskord hääletasin kõiki mõõduvaid autosi ja keegi peale ei võtnudki. Läksin siis hääletades koju ja proovisin järgmine päev uuesti.

Between lines

📷 Pirita

#estonia #tallinn #urban #landscape #architecture #photography

A quiet moment beneath the Pirita Bridge, where concrete strength meets the soft flow of water and light. The monochrome tones reveal a calm tension between movement and stillness - an urban landscape suspended in time.

History of Pirita Convent:

The idea of founding the monastery dates to merchants (H. Huxer, G. Kruse, H. Swalbart) of Tallinn of around 1400. In 1407, two monks from Vadstena Abbey arrived in Tallinn to counsel the merchants. The first permit to break dolomite for building the complex was acquired in 1417. The convent was constructed under the supervision of the architect Heinrich Swalbart.

The main church of the monastery was consecrated on 15 August 1436 by the Bishop of Tallinn, Heinrich II. Several of the merchants who had originally proposed the monastery later became its monks. During its heyday, Pirita Convent became the largest Catholic monastery in Livonia.

The decline of the convent started after the adoption of the Protestant reformation in Estonia in 1525, although it was allowed to continue to function. During the Livonian War in 1577, Pirita Convent was attacked by Russian troops under the leadership of Ivan the Terrible. They sacked the monastery, looted its riches and burned it down. Pirita Convent has been abandoned since then, but local people used adjacent lands as a cemetery.

Picture description:

The image captures the quiet harmony of the Pirita Convent ruins and the river that mirrors them. Through soft motion and stillness, stone and water speak of time’s passage - a dialogue between endurance and change in a landscape shaped by memory.

Okei, ma oleks sellega isegi nõus kui suur varvas selle neile ära selgitab, maha müüb ja igalt lühemalt varbalt 500€ kasseerib. Kuna oman 51% osalust siis peab suur varvas mulle selle 4000€ pealt vähemalt pool, kui mitte rohkem, kinni maksma (lisaks regulaarsed hooldustööd ja muud arved).

Juurpõhjus diagnoosib juurpõhjuseid, mis on põhjustatud juurpõhjuse enda poolt. Sama tase, kui et mu suur varvas hakkab väiksematele varvastele rääkima kasvamise võimalikusest, tuleb ainult endasse uskuda, leida juurpõhjus, miks nad ikkagi on lühemad.

Stillness at Pikakari

📷 Pikakari

#estonia #tallinn #urban #nature #photography

At the edge of Tallinn, the Baltic Sea meets a shoreline of enduring stone. The long exposure softens the waves into a quiet haze, contrasting with the steadfast rocks that bear the marks of time. Stripped of color, the image reveals a harmony of texture, light, and shadow - a calm reflection on movement, stillness, and the passage of time.
