PHOTO GALLERY:
Our Honeymoon part 2 :
Saaremaa Islands, Tartu & Parnu (Estonia)
July 2005


Page Description

This photogallery consists of many photos taken from part of our honeymoon in the Baltic. This photogallery show photos specifically from some towns or cities in Estonia, namely Tartu and Parnu and also our 2 day stay in the large islands of Saaremaa between the 10th and 11th July. We stayed most at the town of Kuressare situated on the largest of the archipelago. Here there is a very old bishop castle. We also stayed at Panga camping site which was very cosy, relaxing and surrounded by trees, birds, and also situated very near the coast which provides magnificent sunsets. We also visited a site called Kaali where a meteorite had fallen and formed a crater. There are also several photos from the city of Tartu (2nd largest city of Estonia), where we stayed a night and the following day (15th July) and some photos of another town we passed by, that is Parnu. Probably the stay in Saaremaa islands were our most beautiful days of our honeymoon trip.

I and Malin eating in one of the restaurants in Kuressare. Big, spicy pizza is my favourite choice. Thank you to the neighbouring client who allowed me to place the camera on his table for a while to take this nice shot.

From Kuressare we travelled to Kaali where the obvious attraction is this crater formed by a falling meteorite . Despite many many years have passed, trees and vegetation did not grow in the crater centre.

I standing by the crater to indicate its size. I wonder why the water do not leach down through the rocks!!

Another curious thing was these cabbage butterflies struggling on the mud just near the water of the crater. They seemed hypnotized on whatever they were doing becasue they were not scared of me to take this photo (about 1 meter away). Actually there were a few hundreds of them and this photo is a close up.

More nature, some cows grazing in large open fields while driving from Kaali to Angla windmills. Do not show these photos to Maltese cows as they might die with depression. There were about a herd of 30 cows.

The impressive windmills of Angla . There is now a row of 5 windmills (4 post mills, and a smock mill), from a location that once had 9 mills. These are the only remaining group of windmills on Saaremaa located in Angla. In 1925, when the village of Angla consisted of 13 farms, there were nine wind catchers on the hill. At one time, these hills of windmills (subjected to strong wind) were a common sight on Saaremaa. When the people were more agrarian, grew their own wheat and rye, and made their own bread, every self-respecting village had a group of windmills to grind the grain.
