Th city of Tartu’s urban planning for 2030+

January 15, 2025 by Kerly Ilves

I haven’t posted posts of my photos for a while, which I have found online from different websites. They tend to pop up now and then. Here is one used to illustrate the city of Tartu’s urban planning for the years 2030+.

Unfortunately, I can’t find the source of this website, but luckily I have this screenshot saved.

I took this photo, while I was exploring the river Emajõgi and Supilinn borough, as it captured the communication between the river and the borough. Emajõgi is always an interesting subject at any season. I should explore it in the winter and see what it looks like now.

June nature

June 1, 2023 by Kerly Ilves

Finally, it is summer! Or at least the month, when summer really starts. I guess it is still summer when you know you are not taking a break from work, as there is so much to do! Hahaha, I know a body needs a break. What would be the best time to have it than not in summer? So excited about what this beautiful month has to offer.

I feel like I repeat myself, but summer is the time to notice things. Explore and experience. Share and love. But yet again, any day of our lives should be lived like this – to the fullest, being the most present and appreciated. I guess it is not the best time to write anything while listening to Justament’s Petseri Tsura ja Hiitola Ätt. Words choke in my head, throat and fingers. But this only works when you are an Estonian!

Pictured here is a June shot from my earlier insects session in Hiiumaa at Kadri’s grandparents’ place. I got quite a few great shots of the June bugs aka Figeater Beetles. But what makes this shot great is the even smaller insect sitting on the beetle’s left side. When you think something is small, even something smaller exists. Miracles of the Mother Nature!

Let there be sun, laughs, good food and great company. Take it easy in June!

Published photo on Invest in Estonia website

May 15, 2023 by Kerly Ilves

Old news, but I had one of my photos published on a website. My photo of the AHHAA Science Centre was chosen to illustrate the following page of Invest in Estonia. I remember that session very well, as my brother came with me on our dad’s old bicycle, which he had tuned up. Also, you can see him at the bottom of this photo shown below. 🙂 Good times!
