Tallinn is the medieval capital and largest city in Estonia
with a population of just under 400,000. It is situated
on the north coast of the country, on the banks of the
Gulf of Finland, 80 km south of Helsinki.
The central, old part of the city is particularly beautiful - the soaring spires of the churches and the quaint, narrow streets bordered by pretty multi-coloured Hanseatic merchants' houses dating back to the middle ages.
This HDR photo was taken from high up on the city walls overlooking the red-tiled roofs of the old town with the high-rise buildings of the "new" city in the distance. It's a great image - but even more striking when viewed at the original size.
