Bus dropped me off 1.6km from the destination, from where I walked over the meadows and through the Maardu Southern open-pit mining area of limestone and phosphorite. It was sunny and +7C, but very windy. Due to the recent warm weeks, catkins were ALREADY blooming on willows on the edge of a ditch. Come on, it's not even the end of December yet and such things should actually not happen before spring!!! The point had fallen into forest next to the mining area.

"lake in the mountains"

View to the old mining area from top of a pile of residual material. If someone still claims that there's no hills in Estonia and everything is absolutely flat especially around the coastline, then these people must take back their words now. There's plenty of marks of Soviet time terraforming, some of which are quite breathtakingly impressive. At top left corner there can be seen (from the left) the cooling tower and chimney of Iru power plant and the TV tower of Tallinn.
