My photos of urban and natural places that are solitary, abandoned, or just waiting for life to begin again. 🇪🇪

Pirita harbour with dark silhouettes of sailboats in front of a pastel yellow sunset sky. The sailboats and sunlight are reflected on the calm surface of the water, in a place where the Pirita river meets the sea.

A slightly wet asphalt road winding through a park, with dark trees and shrubs looming on either side of the road.

An empty office corridor with a light source at the end of it.

In a way, yes. After drawing or painting something, I feel like all is right in the world again, or like my life is back on track. It's a bit like I'm shedding off some energy that doesn't belong to me and finding my "me" again. Just wish I had more time for art and could feel like "me" more often.

A lonely seaside promenade on a rainy day, with a tall unlit street lamp and a wooden bridge that reaches out into the sea. The sky is grey and moody, and the same kind of grey light is reflecting back from the surface of the sea.

An old stone-paved platform and yellow-red wooden constructions in the Haapsalu railway station. Built in 1905-1907, this place was once full of travellers but now it stands quiet - waiting, hoping that it will some day again become more than just a railway museum.

A quiet night street with an empty road in the foreground and apartment buildings in the background. As the sun only sets for a few short hours at night in June, the street is still quite well-lit by the remnants of sunlight.

A white wooden bench in a quiet corner of a park, surrounded by fluffy bushes. Some of the bushes have white flowers on them, and the paint on the bench looks a bit faded. The bench is empty, quietly waiting for the next person to sit on it.

Red full moon rising above an old apartment building, with a group of tall trees on the left of the building.

A low-angle view of the outer walls and windows of surrounding buildings. Gentle sunlight is reflecting off the upper parts of the buildings while the lower parts, including the viewer's location, remain in shadow.

Morning sunlight reflecting off the various glass and concrete surfaces of the Viru Keskus shopping centre. The sky is clear and there is some snow on the ground. The area is quiet, there are no people in sight.
