View along Meeruse street, Tallinn, towards Kopliranna from the sea. The street is unpaved, pot-holed, escorted by temporary building-site railings and not quite the ideal location for a new LVMH retail outlet catering to the Asian market. History will prove me wrong.
South-eastern end of Meeruse street, Tallinn.

Entrance - closed until further notice - to the north-western end of Meeruse street, Tallinn. Closer to the port entrance, it still denies the dominical pleasure of portuary promenade.

I'faith, it is a miniature, yet 3 or 4 meter-high, lighthouse or beacon on the shore warning itinerant Viking or Barbary pirates that little but rocks and occasional colza farm-escapees are to be had.
