Tallinn is an old town... that now has some new bits! The old town is a pretty and laid back place... probably worthy of a long weekend visit.
Here's the pics:
Russian Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Just after I'd taken this photo, a smart car pulled up and a senior priest stepped out and followed these two green robed guys inside. I followed and was rewarded with some magical choral singing and priestly recital reverberating around the ostentatious interior. With such other-worldly/angelic sounds and environment I could easily imagine how, in times gone by, such an approach to religion could impress the local population into devotion.
No photography allowed inside so you'll have to go yourself :)
The following old and new buildings were opposite each other on the same street.
