Alatskivi Castle

 
Alatskivi Castle, Estonia
 
 
After half a day in Tartu, Estonia, we took a detour on our way back home to visit Alatskivi Castle, nearby Peipsi lake.
 
Alatskivi Castle was originally built in the late 16th century and later rebuilt in 1880-85 with the aim to resemble the royal residence of Balmoral, Scotland, only a little less grand.
 
It’s one of those castles where you are allowed to walk around on your own, take as many photographs as you wish and even touch the wallpapers as long as you’re careful. I like that!

The interiors have recently been refurbished, and although I am stunned by many of the wallpapers and the furniture, it’s more of a museum than a castle where you can let you’re imagination run free and make up stories of the people who used to live there. I wish a little bit more would have been left untouched.
 
The upper floor is in fact a museum, dedicated to the Estonian composer and conductor Eduard Tubin (1905-1982).
 
There’s a 130 hectare park around the castle, perfect for a walk. If I ever come back, I will probably spend more time outside than inside.

Efter en halv dag i Tartu passade vi på att besöka Alatskivi slott, precis bredvid Peipsi-sjön, på vägen hem.
 
Alatskivi slott uppfördes ursprungligen i slutet av 1500-talet och byggdes senare om mellan 1880-85. Målet var att slottet skulle efterlikna det kungliga residenset Balmoral i Skottland, om än något mindre.
 
Det här är ett av de slott där jag som besökare tillåts upptäcka på egen hand, ta så många foton som jag vill och till och med stryka med handen över tapeterna, så länge jag är försiktig. Det gillar jag!

Slottet har nyligen renoverats, men även om jag blir stormförtjust i många av tapeterna och möblerna så känns det mer som ett museum än som ett slott där jag kan släppa fantasin lös och hitta på historier om personerna som en gång bodde där. Jag önskar att lite mer hade lämnats orört.
 
Faktum är att övervåningen är ett museum, tillägnat den estniska kompositören och dirigenten Eduard Tubin (1905-1982).
 
Det finns en 130 hektar stor park runt slottet, perfekt för promenader och kanske en picknick. Om jag någon gång återvänder hit kommer jag med största sannolikhet att tillbringa mer tid på utsidan av slottet, än på insidan.

För ett par dagar sedan kikade jag in här, läste ikapp. Jag hade inte den tid jag önskade för att skriva kommentarer till texterna då, men flera av dem stannade kvar i mina tankar, för mig att återvända till nu och då. Det slog mig att det ofta är så med dina inlägg, att de lämnar spår och spinner vidare hos mig, men att jag inte alltid lyckas fånga tankarna i ord, skriva ner dem här, till dig. Texten om dina morföräldrar är en sådan, och den du skrev om te, och den om din katt som sprang in-och-ut som den ville...det finns antagligen fler exempel på texter som stannat kvar, fastän jag inte minns dem just nu. Så tusen tack för dina texter Linn, för att de spinner vidare, sätter spår. Vill att du har en underbar sommar! Kram, Frida

Svar: Min internetuppkoppling spökar, så får du två snarliknande svar från mig så vet du varför...
Stort tack kära du för de fina och värmande orden. Jag tar dem till mig och bevarar dem. Och du ska veta att det är helt och hållet ömsesidigt. Din blogg och dina texter är en lugn och rofylld tillflyktsort för mig.

Många kramar
Linn

Det är nåt visst med slott, det är det, och jag är som du att jag vill uppleva precis så som det var med alla detaljer bevarade. Att riktigt kunna tänka och känna mej in i hur det var och vilka det var som levt och rört sej i den miljön..
Häftigt ändå att få känna och fota lite mer som man vill!
Tjolöholm besökte jag nyss och även om jag varit inne tidigare är det en speciell känsla att gå runt därinne. Dock utan att känna och fota.
Ha en go torsdag!
Kram

Svar: Tjolöholm är fortfarande en av de mest magiska slottsmiljöer jag varit i. Visst är det häftigt med ännu äldre slott och inredningar, men Tjolöholm är som en sagobok från början till slut och jag älskar att höra om dammsugaren och hårfönen :-)
Kram

- lako i brzo pretrazivanje automobila u gradovima;
- najave o kupnji automobila s opseznim opisom;
- kvalitetna usluga i korisnicka podrska;
- automobil od vlasnika, a ne od preprodavaca.

OVI arrests neccesitate most of the highly trained secrets most used in defense courts. Defending a DWI begins by understanding not one of one's rights on the constitution have been trespassed. When a cop is in front of you, while they are essentially the only witnesses most of the time, their training and procedural conduct is of the formula. We all create mis haps, and the law are no no exception to the rule. The event begins when usual accusation that will progress to obvious cause. An example, someone gets flashed over for driving too slow at 2 AM. A officer has the usual suspicion that aperson committed a moving violation, speeding. Now, as the law enforcment tries to make visual communication or leans in closer to the automobile, the officer will utter you exhibit watery eyes, or there is an odor of alcohol. This raises the reasonable suspicion of recklessness to giving a police officer a good chance that someone may be driving while intoxicated. 99.9% of officers will say smell of whiskey, watery ojos, or mumbiling speech. They may also say you are rumaging around getting your drivers license and insurance in your hand. At this point the person driving will be likely commanded to step out from the car and do regular physical sobriety tests. Those are SFST’s are taught under NHTSA (National road Traffic precautionary Administration) standardizations and must be instructed per situation. when you do perform the tests, the police can make mistakes which will have the test, or tests thrown out of from evidence. Things such as physical disabilities and the best street conditions should be factored amoung the results of your test. (example: someone can’t perform a hop and a skip and turn test on crooked sidwalk). Someone will usually take a digital breath test. There are accidents in these machines also, after all they are machines that need maintenance and trained on for days. The incarceration is taped from the time the officer starts their sirens. It is through this taped evidence that we are able to secure an factual choice on the officer giving of the tests, to the clients performance taking the checks. Whether you give an OK to the tests or not, you can go to lock up.

Hello my name is Matt D'Agati. A large amount of job seekers feel disoriented sourcing suitable resume services equals a prudent asset and this is a excellent riddle, so we must first take a look at a mouse's share of of the statistic closings that derived with business leaders who make the choice and call a steady professional resume maker service. Lets start this debate by citing that a website for an employment network called Ladders, communicates that sending a resume drafted by a resume manifesting portal associated with any existing job possibility boost that man's possibilities of getting hired by 70%. As concluded, uploading a professionally forged resume to practically every online corporate vacancy position emboldens that same applicant's fortunes of getting an zoom call by 51%. Look it up in the dictionary, having a gold resume that is backed by a award-winning resume writing organization lends a scalpel -sharp competitive ember to professional level employment hunters and especially high -level employment seekers, therefor nearly every for-real professional resume writer company also engenders worthy and effective online profiles in addition to sublime resumes. Know it, having sourcing a resume that is fittingly -written or properly developed is always the most vital aspect of any job hunt, yet obtaining an equally fundamental Facebook presence is really marginally less crucial in the scheme of getting employed.install solar panel haverhill
