Lost the lens cap

So I raped the pickle jar. The owner of the installation said it has worked fine for a few years now. (You can't even imagine how much the nasty capitalist camera manufacturers demand for a replacement.)

Sunstroke

Sunstroke is a misery that can arrive when you live in an area where the temperature can change 50 degrees celcius in just a few months.

Foxy Mustang, Kapoti-Kalev exclusive

"What's the trouble?"

"Sorry for dragging you into it."

"Goosh, I'm in trouble. You know, I just went with that guy and drove his American car to the beach and then the police came."

If you go to Viljandi, be sure to have your friend to drive your Mustang. I started off my Viljandi Folk Music festival shouting "Mustangs are for gays!". Immediately after that an unknown madman broke a side mirror of a red Ford Mustang I had addressed. Couldn't stop him, sorry. It appeared that the car belonged to Kalev Rebane, the famous national hero opposing the Bronze Soldier.
So, long talk cut short, I spotted the guy several times during the event and finally took some pics of him when he was in trouble with the police on Viljandi beach.

how to pee outdoors 3

Find the only remaining "piimapukk" in the village.

Piimapukk (Milk + bench/trestle) is a simple construction. Usually made from wood, the one on the picture is one of the very rare metallic ones. These things appeared in the 1960s when milk trucks were taken to use. Farmers brought their milk jugs there so that a dairy factory car could pick them up and take them to the factory. As this doesn't pay off anymore, the things are slowly rotting.
When our village was still "blooming" the "moving foodshop" (a car or bus that drives around villages and sells food like a store) stopped there. People from close by farms gathered there every Wednesday to gossip and do their grocery shopping. As I've read they were a good place to meet up and gossip in other places as well.

The king is half naked

Just to remind you that summer also comes... eventually. The guy in the picture is a king of Estonia. Yep, a king, because there are many. Also known as musician inBOIL. Richard Brautigan wrote a book about him. Oh, and when was the last time you saw a Nordic person without a mobile phone? Photo by Elo Kuuste, taken at Mütofest, 16 August 2008.
