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.

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.
