...as promised, another view of Talsi lake, which I deleted yesterday...hope you will enjoy!

Talsi - "Pearl of Kurzeme"- the town of nine hills, is perched above two lakes. Talsi has 12 000 inhabitants. Its history is hidden in its calm cobbled streets, in its old wooden houses with red tiling, in its well – preserved parks, cherry and apple-tree gardens of long standing. In all seasons Talsi can be compared with a proud lady of Kurzeme – it is mysterious, reserved, diligent and variable. The hilly relief of the town has influenced the spreading of building in a peculiar way – the town resembles puff pastry – where the roof of one building ends, there the basement of other one begins, and local staircases are the shortest route at Talsi. The ancient castle mould of Cours is the heart of Talsi, and standing on its top, the whole town panorama is seen. Talsi is the perfect destination for travelers, who can estimate both the calmness of workday rhythm of a rural town and the aura of culture and pastime on weekends. Talsi is a town where the traveler can sense the reciprocal harmony of history, nature and town.

Hello Elaine,
A very nice and peacefull view of a small rural town indeed. I like it! Although at first view the sign could been seen as a plus, I must say that in this case I would have omitted it, but it's a question of taste ;-)
Have a nice day and TFS, Mike

Hello Ivana
Beautiful shot from a beautiful place. That fact that you took this shot with the signboard in the FG is a big plus. Colours are beautiful & I like the red spire peeking above the trees into the blue sky. Good shot!
