PICTURES: Autumn moments in Estonia

When it’s not wet and windy – the occasional heavy rains with a thunderstorm can be pretty aggressive – the autumn in Estonia can offer calm and tranquillity. Nature, with its various shades of red, yellow, orange, blue and brown, provides moments of infinite calm. Estonian World picked some images to convey the autumn feeling in Estonia.*
