Nature study: getting up close vol. 1

This week's photos show nature up, close and personal. 

I have always loved to take photos in the nature, but I have never called myself nature photographer. Here are some close-up's of little critters I have found in nature during my nature walks.

I have been to few of the Battle of Est events. I know nothing about this art, but I do enjoy watching it and also taking pictures there.

The Battle of EST, or BOE as it's also called, is an international hip-hop and breakdance cultural event that brings in dancers from more than 20 countries. Since its start in 2002, BOE has grown to become one of the biggest events of its kind in Northern Europe.

Pärnu vol. 1

During this time, in the beginning of July, I always think of Pärnu. I started going there with my parents when I was just a small girl. My aunt lives there and therefore there was always a place to go. When I was older, I started going there myself. And then since 2003 I tried to make it there every summer with my then photography friend Kadri. Who is just a wonderful friend now.

This week's series is inspired by her, as she gave me the idea to see these fine architectural houses in Pärnu or she was there when I took those sunset photos at Pärnu beach. What great times!

Thinking of you, Kadri. Have a nice summer!

Song and Dance Festival vol. 1

There is no better way to describe this week's photos than this little introduction from Vistiestonia.com

If you ask an Estonian to talk about Estonia, you are likely to hear about the Song and Dance Festival. Probably because the song and dance festival is not just a big summer event that takes every 5 years, but it is a way of being that helps us to better understand ourselves and carries all the important values ​​that we consider important as a nation - love for your country, language, culture, and customs.
