Estonia was a very important part of the trading routes throughout Medieval times. Hence many of the cities on the coastline have the remains of fortresses and castles. The castle at Rakvere is interesting in that it was only destroyed approx 400 years ago - by Polish forces. However, the castle itself still plays an important part in the life of the citizens of Rakvere. It draws many tourists and still hosts local markets and events. Parts of the castle are quite accessible - while parts are ruined and provide a dramatic backdrop to the events and activities held there. It is also possible to wander around the various sections and explore dungeons, sword rooms (complete with swords which you can wield if you wish!),the chapel, galleries around the walls, tunnels within the walls and even the horrific torture chamber.
@fbailey@rosie00 Hi FB and Lesley - It's funny but I think just owning the little "point and shoot" Canon is actually good for encouraging crazy angles - it's so easy to move around - and then you can fit so much more in the frame. It sort of becomes second nature. :)
HiSuzanne, Granagringa and Marnie Thanks for your comments on the angular castle shot - it was so much fun playing normal games in a castle which has had gaping walls etc for 400 hundred years, but is still so alive. We're nearly home now so hopefully I will soon be able to respond to more of your posts. Cheers Rob @suzanne234@granagringa@golftragic
