Trip to Lake Peipsi (Part 3)

Here is the third and final batch of photos from my day trip earlier in the month. The picture above shows the shore of Lake Peipsi as storm clouds began to roll in during the afternoon. The statue is some sort of war memorial and in the background to the right is a small fishing boat heading ashore.

Later in the afternoon, and further inland, I detoured to take in one of the many bogs that are a characteristic feature of the Estonian countryside. Selected bogs are equipped with board walks that enable hikers to get across them.


Another stop was at the renovated 19th-century schoolhouse attended by one of Estonia's best-known writers, Oskar Luts. I was impressed that the main classroom contained not only an abacus but also a chamber organ!


Finally, here is a rustic, Eastern Estonian bus stop ... .
