Of everywhere we visited in the Baltic States Tallinn was my favorite place even though I could not for the life of me pronounce most of the consonant heavy words used to identify most of the things I found to my liking. This was my first experience with a walled city, Tallinn has almost 2km of intact defenses that were started in the 13th century and weaved into the city walls that stand guard today. This shot captures one of the 26 wall towers that make up Tallinn’s defenses, today the tourism board has made several towers available for touring and certain sections of the wall are open for walking giving fine views of the old town.

As we progressed through the town, light changed and all the city was bathed in golden yellow sunlight, especially pleasant in Autumn.
