Christmas may be over for another year but winter will be with us for quite a while yet. Estonia is absolutely stunning during the winter months when the country is covered in a beautiful blanket of snow. During this time of year sunrise is around 9:20am and sunset is at 3:20pm. The short daylight hours can be a bit daunting for some, but dusk is when the magic really begins. Pastel coloured skies or clear blue nights provides endless photo opportunities to capture Estonia in all its splendour!
Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation. This blog aims to promote Estonian news, history and culture and seeks to enlighten readers about everything this unique country has to offer.

Estonia during winter is one of the most fairytale like times of the year!
Tallinn Old Town
Kõpu Lighthouse in Hiiumaa. It is one of the oldest lighthouses in the world and
has been in continuous use since its completion in 1531.
Beautiful Tartu!
