trip to Meleski

Yesterday I went with a friend and my colleague in Meleski village, about 60 km south of Tartu.
The countryside was once again breathtaking :)

 me holding the estonian national flower :)
 the blue cornflower - estonian national flower
 the second biggest lake in Estonia - Võrtsjärv 
a really beautiful place :)






 my friend Marilis relaxing and enjoying the sun :)





 Madis-my colleague from NELK
 the observatory with Madis and Marilis

 Emajõgi river - a cool shady place but lots of bugs and mosquitoes :)


after sightseeing we went to the local glass museum (and I'm thanking Madis for this, because I would probably never know about that place, because only the local people know about that :D )

 some local church, which is really nice from the inside



 the memoriam for the local casualties in the war
(right side of the church)



 a very nice organ


 in front of the glass museum

 little glass figures

 I really liked the blue and purple glass shards (glass sand) :)




 beautiful glass swanns

 "deformed" mugs XD

 glass pig #1 :D
 glass pig #2

the abbandoned old glass factory repurposed for concerts :)

this was some random concert and the guys were very good - they played spanish acoustic music :D

It was a very enjoying trip and I hope there will be more of these :D

Goran out.

Assembling the huge photo camera

Well, the time has come for that scattered equipment pieces to be put together again :)
The process was quite long indeed, but we did it.

 Yes, this is how it's written in estonian, hehehe...XD
 moving the parts around and making space to assembe the machine
 the guy to the left is a specialist for this kind of things and the guy to the right 
is my future colleague-he will be the leader of the graphics workshops
 we needed to lift this big part horizontally



 this is the camera objective-believe it or not :)
 preparing the holder for the screen :)


 trying to connect the very heavy console with the very heavy "other part"
 (I don't know the name for that XD)






 moving the objective

 we lifted this one horizontally into it's holder too


 the screen in it's place



 lined up-console, objective, screen




 setting the lights


and that was my working saturday :) Now there's much more space in there and it looks way better :)
