Saint Petersburg, Russia, August 27, 2007  This broader aerial shot, taken from an aircraft heading north towards Helsinki, captures the expansive geography of Tallinn s coastline. The large landmass stretching into the sea on the left is the Kopli Peninsula. Once an industrial zone, it is now a rapidly developing area with trendy neighborhoods like Kalamaja (closer to the center) and burgeoning cultural hubs. The calm, blue waters of Tallinn Bay dominate the background, illustrating the city s intimate connection with the Baltic Sea. Further in the distance, beyond Kopli, one can see the tip of the Paljassaare Peninsula, known for its bird conservation area and beaches. The area in the foreground, characterized by a regular grid of streets and lower-rise buildings (many of them historic wooden houses), is the Kalamaja district. On the coastline to the right, the massive concrete hangars of the Seaplane Harbour museum are visible, a key maritime landmark.
