Tallinn city streetsign with the streetname Luha on it. View of street called Luha in Tallinn. Interesting case of the meaning of "street" in Estonia. This is 'part' of or accessed via Planeedi, but the street sign associated with it is Pärnu & Luha... Anarchy, ugly-face, 'fuck-off' grafitti in Luha, Tallinn.

Tallinn streetsign displaying the name Tiigiveski park. Shady walkway in Tiigiveski park, Tallinn. Maybe I ought to say 'shaded' instead of 'shady', but you get what I mean. Tallinn is generally a safe city. I have yet to see a park in Tallinn, here Tiigiveski park, with no games area for children. View of the Tiigiveski park, Tallinn, with high-rises in the background.

#Joa (Juga)
Waterfall, cascade. Referring to the 3.8-m high #Hundikuristiku cascade in #Kadrioru. Interesting anagram, a #joa (possibly related to #jõgi, see Jõe) is the sort of thing you might find at either end of an #Oja.

moats and watermills with water from #Ülemiste lake as well as #Tiigiveski and #Härjapea rivers date back to 1345, so the word could also mean viaduct. A very small part of the (now?) underground system is exhibited outside #Süda P. No.2.
