On Friday, I visited Kadriorg Palace and Gardens - an extensive park full of interesting buildings, lakes, gardens and wildlife (their squirrels were a delight with the dark tails and ear tufts but light too poor to capture). Commissioned in 1718 by Peter the Great, the palace was the summer home for Peter I, Catherine I and their family. It houses the Kadriorg Art Museum and serves as the presidential palace. In Estonian, Kadriorg means 'Catherine's Valley. The light level was very low with intermittent rain so not the best images but here to remember the area.
