Photographer's Note
The Toompea (Domberg) or "Cathedral Hill", which was the seat of the central authority, first the ruling bishops, then the Teutonic Order, then the Baltic German nobility; it is today the seat of the Estonian government and many embassies and residencies.
The Old Town, which is the old Hanseatic town, the "city of the citizens" - this was not administratively united with the Hill until the late 19th century. It was the centre of the medieval trade on which it grew prosperous.

Szia Gyuri,
egy ůjabb szép fotň kivŕlň rŕlŕtŕssal. A szěnek szépen telětettek, a fény is egészen jň csak az a frŕnya égbolt tůl vilŕgos. Ha nem veszed rossz néven megprňbŕltam egy WS-t,hogy a hŕttérrel csinŕljak valamit. Eloszor egy kicsit besotétitettem az eget,hogy jobban kirajzolňdjanak a felho sŕvok,majd kivilŕgosětottam a kép tobbi részét és a szěn telitettségbol is visszavettem egy kicsit. Remélem nem rontottam el a szép képedet.
Szia.

Hi, George
I have never been to Tallinn, so,I think, you gave me a chance to look at its beautiful image. Great composition and colors. It is a pity, the sky didn't cooperate. Very well done

Good and unusual PoV for a view of Tallinn, most people, including me, use the wall the hill as a PoV for th old town. This really catches the story book illustration look of the place, the OS not too much here IMO.
