Frozen Tears in Tallinn, Estonia
The capital of Republic of Estonia, Baltic’s northerly city. People struggle to dig their cars out from the snow in December, but even when they do, temperatures sometimes don’t allow to start the engine anyway. Your tears, as well as whatever is in your runny nose will freeze as soon as you step outside. It is cold and dry. The beach, which in summer is full of people getting a tan and having a swim, in winter is dead empty and pleasantly quiet. You see nothing but white snow and some grey trees not far from the shore. You hear nothing but waves coming closer to you and the sound of snow crunching under your feet as you take a step. You feel nothing but serenity and emptiness.
