April 16: trip to Tallinn 2
The voyage itself.
6129
The grand, um, bowitorium. What do you even call this? A showroom, I guess. (Edit 7/1/2020: getting a bit of Hof Weissbad vibes from the windows.)
6130
Chimneys: just as colorful as the hull.
6133
Looking back to shore before setting off. The entry to the ferries always seems to be through these incredibly long glazed, elevated tunnels, which is interesting from an architectural/spatial point of view.
6136
Some nice sun on the deck, though it was pretty chillers to hang around out there for long.
6138
Gullspective.
6139
Sun plus phenomena (note the faintish sun dogs to the far left and right of the sun).
6140
It never stops being curious having the gulls flying around far below you when you're up on deck.
6153
Must be moving, judging by the presence of the smoke.
6161
Sun plus phenomena 2.0; also islands.
6165
The left sun dog.
6174
Helsinki receding — Agricolan kirkko is the spire in the middle; to its right are the spires of Johanneksenkirkko.
6185
Plastic blue sea view.
6201
About halfway across the Gulf, one could glimpse both the Finnish and Estonian shores, which was pretty incredible. This is looking forward toward Tallinn; the one sign of land you can see is the tower in the middle of the horizon.
6214
This, meanwhile, is a view back toward Helsinki, and here you can more clearly see features on the shore.
6218
Ferries in the distance, heading in the opposite direction.
6225
Looking up to the ceiling of the showroom and further up to the bridge.
6234
Chiaroscuro as we near the shore.
6236
Chiaroscuro 2.0.
6255
This bird seemed rather inquisitive (hungry?) and flitted around as we disembarked.
6257
The dock at Tallinn, with the old city straight yonder.
