Iseseisvuspäev // Independence day

Ida-Viru jaoks jääb kahest päevast väheks, see on kindlamast kindlam. Nii palju on vaatamist ja kindlasti tasub sinna kunagi tagasi minna. Seekord sai käidud Hara rabas (Juminda poolsaarel), Valaste joal, Narva-Jõesuus, Viivikonnas ja loomulikult ka Narvas. Kuna pimeneb juba varakult, oli Viivikonnas piltide tegemine veidi raskendatud. Silmmällu jäid sellegipoolest unustamatud kaadrid.
Lisaks sai tehtud tiir ka soojuselektrijaamade juures, mis jätsid heas mõttes väga sürreaalse mulje. Just praegune surev loodus ja see tööstusmaastik meenutasid väga Stalker: Call of Pripyat mängu.
Narvas pikemalt polnud ma kunagi viibinud ja seda üllatavam oli, kui palju see tegelikult näeb väikse Venemaa osana välja. Inimesed olid sõbralikud ja meeldivad ning linn ise oli väga kena.
PS! Narva-Jõesuus on söögikoht Meretare ja sealt saab imelist kakaod!

Two days is not enough to explore the beauty of Ida Viru county. There's so much to see and someday I really want to go back there again. This time I visited the bog of Hara, Valaste waterfall, Narva-Jõesuu, Viivikonna and of course, the town of Narva. Since it's getting dark quite early now, it was difficult to take photos (without a tripod) in Viivikonna. But nonetheless, the recordings in my mind are vivid enough :)
I also saw the Narva power plants which look so surreal (in a good way). The weather, the look of nature right now and the industrial surroundings gave a really strong Stalker: Call of Pripyat vibe to me.
It was also the first time I've spent more time in Narva and it was quite a surprise, how much it looks more like a part of Russia than Estonia. People are friendly and the town itself is nice-looking.
PS! You'll get amazing hot cocoa in Meretare, Narva-Jõesuu.

Eelmisel aastal jäi Viru raba külastus vahele ja seega võtsin tänavu nõuks kindlasti sealt läbi käia. Kahjuks ei õnnestunud taas huulheina pildistamine, vaid üks pilt kukkus enam-vähem välja. Rabarajalt kõrvale hüppamine pole lubatud ja seega olin kõhuli risti mööda kõrgendatud laudteed ning ei näinud ööd ega mütsi, mis või kas üldse fookuses on :D Aga eks see ole ka omamoodi tore väljakutse.

I promised myself to go to Viru bog this year, especially after skipping going last year. Unfortunately photographing sundews was a fail once again, only one shot turned out okay. It's forbidden to step aside from the boarded path and that meant you had to lie across the path and thus see nothing from the viewfinder (because the path is raised from the ground as well, so you reach out your arm as far as you can to get close for a macro shot) :D But hey, small challenges like these make it interesting.
