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.

#Tiigiveski (Tiigiveski)
#Tallinn #Kesklinn #Keldrimäe
Pond mill. Park, not street, named after one-time mill dating back to the 13th C, once the largest on the #Härjapea river in #Keldrimäe, on a weir-retained pond.

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.

#Luha (Luht)
#Tallinn #Kesklinn #UusMaailm

it could also be genitive+nominative, dropping the final vowel of the genitive #alliku for reasons of consonance, all leading to a variety of similar meanings: spring- or source-bog, ‘bog with (many) springs’.

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.
