Odd Shots Monday



This house I visited once quite often, especially when the cold season hit me and I needed some help.

Lately, over the long-long time I stepped in and saw:



This was like a museum... it was the museum!
Guess where I was?

The Raeapteek (English: Town Hall Pharmacy; German: Ratsapotheke) is in the center of Tallinn city, Estonia.
Opposite the
Town Hall, at house number 11, it is one of the oldest continuously running pharmacies in Europe, having always been in business in the same exact house since the early 15th century. It is also the oldest commercial enterprise and the oldest medical establishment in Tallinn.
The first known image of the Town-Hall Pharmacy is an oil-painting by
Oldekop, showing Tallinn's Town Hall Square in 1800. The first photos of the building date from 1889.

Odd Shots is Katney's project...

Wide


This week's theme was Wide and knew exactly where I'll take the pictures. From my archives, of course...not so much wide views to see here in the grey winter weather.
The real feeling of "wide" I got in Czechia (2004-09) , near Uherské Hradiště in Moravia.
Moravian Slovakia is a cultural region in the eastern part of present-day Czech Republik.
Still when I see those pictures, I get the same feeling... Click them larger and you understand what I mean.
