All big cities have these big apartment buildings, which accommodate people after work days, Toronto is no exception.

Good times.

Kitchen still

The film is quite old, so you can see the veil and the black dots without no detail to be presented.

Between the front door

Welcoming winter!

Winter trees

Though I love summer, I also love winter with its serenity, cold degrees and fluffy snow that makes everything look beautiful.

Winter double exposure

When excited this what happens - you forget to turn the lever for a new exposure and end up making a double exposure!

Otepää in -22C

Can't get enough of this winter beauty during freezing temperatures!

Otepää church and the cloud of snow

I really loved this shot, so I created one year a Christmas greeting using this photo.

Edge of the forest

We just arrived in wee hours to Otepää with my dad and we saw this gorgeous view and I had to stop and take those, what I think the prettiest winter photos I have ever taken. Gorgeous -22 C winter morning.

Double exposure

Which really didn't work out the way I wanted, due to a too long of a shutter speed.

Field for how long

There is an empty field between two five story apartments buildings, which has always been empty, but I just wonder for how long.

Basketball court

Have played there myself only few times, as the court belongs to the Russian school and few years ago they added a fence around their property, but that doesn't keep anybody away.

Annelinn

So long I have seen these buildings and walked this path. By now both of these buildings look different.

Sõpruse puiestee

I am glad I have taken this shot, as this pedestrian path doesn't exist anymore as those trees are gone as well. Now there is a bike path as well.

Posing with his bike, which is no longer in use by him.

Christmas tree

Beauty of the holidays.

Tartu Turu Bridge

Built exclusively for pedestrians and cyclist allowing those who live in Jaamamõisa and Annelinn cross the river in much less time than before. I think one of the best new structures built in Tartu in the past 50 years.

Open market

This is a known fact that you can't really take photos in the markets, but when it looks okay to take one, then why not.

Swing

Usually I know the shots what I have been taking, but this one leaves me high and dry. Beautiful though.

Looking over Tartu

Not the most outstanding look on Tartu, but still gives a higher perspective, not of the buildings though.

Mäe street's sun

When I was young I was a bit afraid of Mäe street, as there was the orphanage and some of the Sunday school classes took part there and I know I didn't feel comfortable, but not these are distant memories and I can enjoy such lovely sun bursts in Mäe street.

Building with history

Once a grocery store and also a factory of making stove bricks, now just standing.

Tartu St. Peter's church

If there is such thing in my life, as a home church, then this is it. Went to Sunday school there and got christened and if to except some winter concerts and some photo shoots, then that is that. But nevertheless the building is something on its own.

Oliver's shop

This is not the same building, as the shop is, but the light was just gorgeous from this angle and I had to take the shot.

Former LEGO store

In the 90's, when we regained our independence or just before that a little luxury stores appeared. One of those was this, which was a home to a LEGO store. I went there many times to drool, but had no such money to buy anything. I didn't bother even my parents for any of what was on sale there.

Ruins

This used to be a nice and renovated building for many years, until 10 years or so ago, it just became empty and I think in spring 2018 they started demolishing it. I guess new one may be there already.

Check the aperture of this camera - whoppin' f/2.8 come on! Cool!
