Park life

Not really park life, but garden life.
It may surprise what you can find from the botanical garden.

Estonian National Museum. Former

In five days you can go and see brand new Estonian National Museum building open and welcoming. These three photos were taken while it was still located at its old place in Tartu downtown. Now the permanent exhibition looks completely different.

Ago-Endrik Kerge

Ago-Hendrik Kerge is Estonian actor and director. I was taking his portrait while taking photos of the small acting group for their upcoming show. They needed some mysterious photos and I used harsh one light set-up to enhance the feeling. I like the anonymity of the photo of him looking down.

Cetonia aurata

How beautiful a bug can be?

Cetonia aurata, called the rose chafer or the green rose chafer, is a beetle, 20 mm (¾ in) long, that has a metallic structurally coloured green and a distinct V-shaped scutellum. The scutellum is the small V-shaped area between the wing cases; it may show several small, irregular, white lines and marks. The underside of the beetle has a coppery colour, and its upper side is sometimes bronze, copper, violet, blue/black, or grey.

Cetonia aurata should not be confused with the North American rose chafer, Macrodactylus subspinosus, or with the rarely seen noble chafer, Gnorimus nobilis, which is very similar to the rose chafer. One way to identify Cetonia aurata is to look at its scutellum; on the noble chafer the scutellum is an equilateral triangle, but on the rose chafer it is an isosceles triangle. (Wikipedia.org)

Yard sale!

This Saturday from 11 to 4 PM our community is welcoming everybody to a huge yard sale. Two streets are participating, look at the map, which totals altogether 8 households.

If you are a new Erasmus student in Tartu and might be missing few things you need – warm hat or scarf, boots, jacket, a chair, desk, want fresh apples or sit down in a pop-up (vegan) cafe and feel the sense of community. Please join a multi-family YARD SALE on Saturday, 17th of September at 11-16. Bring a good mood, some cash and your positivity! Please come to visit!

Going through my blog photos, I came across to this one and I was surprised at first, why I even have a photo like this in my collection. Then I saw the biggest NO SMOKING sign and then I knew - that's why :)

The place that doesn't exist

At the same sport there is a brand new shopping centre called Kvartal. Few years ago you could walk there and see all the interesting stuff, parking lot, lots of empty space - now it is all full. City.
