Estonia becomes the 24th country to feature on this blog [*] and it makes an impressive debut. Tallinn is one of Europe’s smaller capitals, with a population of about 450,000. The well-lit church is St. Olav’s cathedral, which when it was built in the 16th century, may have been the tallest building in the world. This shot was taken from my hotel room — I’ve had worse views.
[*] seeing as you mentioned it, the countries have been, in order of first appearance: UK, Finland, Russia, Norway, Netherlands. Denmark, USA, Egypt/Sudan, Kenya, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, Turkey, Lebanon, Sweden, Italy, Vatican City, Croatia, France, Tanzania and now Estonia.
