Still more from my shoe-box of pictorial memories of the lovely medieval city Tallinn in Estonia, on the shores of the Baltic sea, is this rather splendid rain water gutter down-spout in the form of an old boot. Situated in the "Old Boot Street" of...
One of the things I enjoy most about traveling is coming across unexpected gems. Case in point, Zur letzten Instanz. As my brother and I were exploring Berlin early one evening, we came across Zur letzten...
