Lõpuks võib vist öelda, et kevad on käes?

Eilne retk Pääsküla rabasse näitas, et metsaalune on lumevaba. Mäletan, et eelmisel aastal ronisin 15. aprilli paiku rattaga (ülim lollus!) Harku rabasse ja pärast oli tükk tegemist, et sealt välja ukerdada - rajad olid parajalt lumised ja vesised.
Selle aasta esimesel "ekspeditsioonil" mõtlesin lõpuks vaatlustorni juures ka ära käia (mu tavaline Pääsküla raba trajektoor on kolmnurk, alg/lõpp-punkt Hiiu tänav). Seekordne kõrvalepõige oli igati väärt, lähen sinna järgmisel korral kindlasti tagasi.


So I guess it's finally spring here? I went to the bog of Pääsküla yesterday and fortunately it was mostly snow-free. Around 15th April last year I went to the bog of Harku with my bicycle (a foolish decision) and it took quite a while for me to get out of there - the roads were snowy and wet.
On this year's first "expedition" I finally went to the watchtower (my usual route is slightly different). The digression was worth it, I'll definitely go back there the next time.

Crazy amount of photos ahead.

Vasakul - 25. aprill 2013; Paremal - 10. mai 2012. Nooruke traditsioon, aga alates 2010. aastast olen umbes selles
kohas alati pilti teinud.
Left - 25th April 2013; Right - 10th May 2012. This tradition is quite young, I've been taking photos in the same spot
since 2010 every time I visit this bog.

Tornist oli näha vana Pääsküla prügimäge; Laagri "kaksiktorne"; Nõmme suusahüppemäge + mõned teised majad, mida ma ei suutnud tuvastada.
You could see the old dumping ground of Pääsküla and some buildings of Laagri and Nõmme.

Paremal on keegi puud nom-nominud.

Igasuguse valehäbita, siin on 80ndad. See laul kummitab juba paar nädalat. Nii värvikas ja voolav meloodia.

I have no shame, here are the 80s. This song has been stuck in my head for weeks now.

Tears for fears - Everybody wants to rule the world

It's still winter

Ma ei tahaks tüüpiline vinguja olla, aga...miks jälle lund sajab? Täna on 7. aprill ja taevast tuleb paksu lund. Kes tellis? Monokroomne maailm viskab peale 5.-6. kuud paratamatult üle. Jubedalt kibelen ratta/rulluiskudega sõitma, kuid sellise ilma jätkudes pole enne jaanipäeva vist lootustki.
Talvetüdimuse leevendamiseks istun Google Streetviews ja "liiklen" suvistel Tallinna tänavatel.
Oeh...tahaks ometi juba rohelist muru näha.

Eile käisin Harku järve ääres, sest kaamera oli liiga kaua tolmu kogunud (imekombel 0°C ja päike - täitsa rannailm) ja täna postitan mõned pildid, mis paari viimase kuu jooksul tehtud on.



Today is the 7th of April and it's snowing. Who ordered it and why? I'm getting real tired of living in a monochrome world for 5-6 months in a row. I can't wait to go outside and ride my bicycle or go roller-skating...but with the weather being a *beep* it seems it's impossible to do anything until St John's Day (June 23/24).
To relieve my winter exhaustion, I sit in Google Streetview and "walk around" on the streets of Tallinn (it's summer there...).
I'm dying to finally see some green grass.

I went to Lake Harku yesterday, partly because my camera had been collecting dust for far too long and partly because the weather was nice, 0°C and the Sun was shining - I'd call it a beach weather. Here are some photos from yesterday and some that I've taken during the last few months (not a whole lot unfortunately).

Taken on the 24th of February (Estonian Independence Day). Chromatic aberration...grr

"Talleke ja pullike" - uus söögikoht Õismäel Nurmenuku peatuses. Nimi pani muigama :)

2011. aasta Laitse jaanituli. Kas tänavu jääb lumi püsima? Panused?

EDIT: Forgot to upload this one

I've uploaded a similar photo of Smena 8M here before, only this time I applied vaseline on the edges of the
magnifying glass.
