Old vacant building windows

These images of an old vacant building from Tallinn are from ten years back, but now I decided to share them with you. The building itself has quite a history, I am sure, but I do not know it , having served different purposes over the years before being left vacant. The windows, the patterns of peeling paint, weathered wood, and the play of light and shadows.

These windows are my entry for this week for Ludwigs Monday Window challenge, a perfect opportunity to showcase the timeless beauty and mystery captured within these frames.

Monday window – Fading Memories

This buildings evokes a sense of nostalgia, mystery, and the passage of time. The building stands as a silent witness to stories untold, waiting for someone to unravel its secrets. The old, weathered building with visible signs of wear and tear. The architecture, though aged, has a distinct character that draws the eye.

 Its walls, once proud and white, now bear the scars of time—cracked bricks, peeling paint, and a sense of melancholy. The window, a relic of better days, gazes out onto the road.

A bittersweet nostalgia hangs in the air—the ache of what was and the whisper of what might have been. The window yearns for a pair of eyes to look through it once more, to see beyond decay and find beauty in fragments. The overcast sky casts a soft light, enhancing the eerie and abandoned feel of the scene.

Ludwig’s Monday Window I found these from my archive – do not know the state of the building now as this was taken several years ago.

Travel memories 20

No travel in sight, so I am going to post photos of lovely places I have visited. I will keep it simple, lots of posts, less words is the theme in these posts.

Sometimes you do not need to go far to experience something nice. Old town in Tallinn, Estonia is a lovely place to visit.

View over the rooftops

Tallinn

I love the sea, beaches, forests, mountains, countryside and lovely cities and the people in them. Colors; blue, green, red, white, yellows and what ever you can find around you. I love beauty and these photos remind me of beauty I have seen.

Welcome to my travels, some of them you might seen before…well, that’s life! Let’s go with the flow…

Monochrome Madness (18)- Old Tallinn Town

This is my week 18 submission to the  Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky.

 

These are taken from The Towers Square in Tallinn. All Photos can be enlarged by a click.

Built up from the 13th to 16th centuries, when Tallinn – or Reval as it was known then – was a thriving member of the Hanseatic trade league, this enclosed neighbourhood of colourful, gabled houses, half-hidden courtyards and grandiose churches is, quite rightly, the city’s biggest tourist draw. And the fact that it’s all neatly packaged within a mostly intact city wall and dotted with guard towers gives it an extra dose of fairytale charm.

Tallinn Old Town is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
