Advertising from Tallinn, Estonia

This was from July 2007. It caught my eye simply because cigarette advertising is no longer allowed in England, and the style od advertisment was different to our billboards.

Splat!

Dinner is served!

Paris photo museum

Whenever I'm in Paris I try to visit this musem, I love the Photographers Gallery, tucked in a sidestreet off of Charing Cross Road, & I wish we could have one as good as the French one over here. The London gallery is raising funds to be relocated, and will be much bigger in a few years time, Yay!!

Looking at photographs is my favourite form of art, thought I'm not art critic! But I do enjoy looking at snaps in galleries & museums. The great thing about these in Paris & London, & I presume elsewhere, is that they are all temporary exhibitions, so every time you go to visit there's something new to see.

A row of houses

This is from Amersham, in Buckinghamshire.
Something about them must have appealed to me when I took
the picture.
But looking at it now I have no idea what!

Twins!

The town of Chesham, In Buckinghamshire, twinned with
Friedrichdsorf, in Germany.
This mosaic, in Chesham, celebrates their realtionship.

Stitched up!

These posters were on a number of lamposts on the main road
from Amersham to Chesham, when I was walking between the two
towns last September.
Looka like someone got stitched up for their birthday!

Occupation Museum, Tallinn

I visited the Museum of Occupations when I was in Tallinn, in July 2007.

It was the only museum I visited. I'm looking forward to going back in a couple of months time, so I can see a lot more of them.

I've actually forgotten the relevance of many of them. But one thing I did learn was about the Forest Brothers, who I had never heard of before.

The pictures were from a temporary display, I think, about old Soviet gulags.

I also took a couple of snaps of old banners, which I think are superb.

And the old statues were relics of the Soviet occupation, and were, fittingly, in the basement, by the toilets!
