Celebraring Estonian Republic's anniversary in Estonian House

Honestly, doesn't look like it is not in Estonia really.

Decoration element

I loved this huge wall of keys, which were hanged at the premises of Daniels Spectrum Centre, where the art+fusion took place. Looking good!

Swan

Wow, the great swans are so....huge and majestic. I was quite close, so had to move away when the bird was approaching me. So beautiful!

Rose-hip

The area is definitely beautiful and offerinc some good photo opportunities.

Chickadee

I captured this tiny chickadee looking for some afternoon snack.

Hunt

Not a likely scene to see - a seagull is after a ofsprey. I am sure it was some little baby situation, as the predator probably wanted to snatch them or something. Anyway, I am glad I got a shot of them hovering over the little pond.

Andres Taul

I had an honour to photograph Mr. Andres Taul. He was born in 1936 in my home town in Estonia, but had to move with family to Germany in early age. He has been involved with religious matters for many-many years. He used to be the headbishop of  Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church, but few years now he is Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church Foreign-Estonian head bishop. He was very good model and such a humble man and took my directions while shooting well. I was very thankful for the chance that I got to take photos of him.

Shooting Niagara Falls - a video

My brother snapped a video of us chilling by the falls. Hahhaa.

Washroom in Niagara Falls

I like to take photos in the washrooms. This shot had to be taken, as come on, we were in Niagara Falls :)

Group of photographers

Here are the people who participated in this wonderful Niagara Falls trip. Peeter, my friend made this happen, as he took us all there, while my brother was visiting from Estonia. Also he shared the jackets of his family with us, to keep us warm. Thank you for a great adventure!

Niagara Falls after sunset

Imagine that how wonderful and different the falls looks during the light-show. It was definitely worthy of staying there for so long to be able to experience this.

People in Niagara Falls

I got this shot of few random people standing aside, as the light pointed to the falls brought out the best of their dark forms.

Niagara Falls plants at dusk

The light was great after the sunset so I played around with some wilted plants by the viewing area of the fall. It sure gave a good background for the plants.

Maple leaf

It is fall in Canada after all :)

Caterpillar

Sun has flattered even caterpillars out in the sunny day.

Fall through sunglasses

I had fun while capturing fall in Ontario through the sunglasses I got to use while my stay there. I really didn't know it is going to be such a nice and sunny Thanksgiving weekend.Thank god for the sun! It all looked amazing through the glasses.

Weekend at the countryside

We had a chance to spend the weekend at my former host family in Ontario. It was so good to see them. They had some great things planned for us, one of it was a photo shoot at their newly renovated visiting artist apartment. This looked amazing. Check out the photos to get the idea what they are offering!

Korbid

These sweet pies are called korbid, which mainly consist of yeast dough and sweet cream cheese, egg and sugar mixture. They are usually different in shape. Google korp and you will find out more.

Mulgid ordered these for their event, as they really love that pastry!

Eesti Mulkide Selts Torontos 35

Well, there is no decent way to translate the title of this post. Mulk is a person who was born in a particular county in the middle of Estonia called Viljandimaa. There was once an organization uniting all those people born there, but now living in Toronto. I was asked to take photos at their last event, as they were shutting the organization, as there were no new members and the old are too old to run it. I chose the best portraits out of all the photos I took. One more surprise to come in next post ;)

Bondage

This is definitely a PG post, as it shows some almost nudity and bondage, which is an art for of tying each other up with ropes. The huge building I mentioned in my earlier post was meant for this show-event. You could walk around and take photos of everything you saw. Pretty cool and pretty surprising.
