Satellite imagery

Not that long ago it was impossible to find any satellite imagery of Tallinn, but now thanks to popularity of Google Earth, they are just a few clicks away:

Finally holidays!

It's holidays and I have finally some time to update this blog.
I found that I have two tourism brochures from Tallinn,
so I am posting my first actual map of Tallinn:

Geography Games

The Traveler IQ Challenge is a very nice and addicting geo flash game (the only thing I didn't like is that map is very small).



This Traveler IQ was calculated on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 01:03PM GMT by comparing this person's geographical knowledge against the Web's Original Travelogue's 4,689,158 travelers who've taken the challenge.



Other games:
GEO QUIZZ
The Europe Quiz

First post!

This blog is going to be about different maps of Tallinn, Google Earth, my Panoramio photos and my SketchUp projects.
