Dinner as we depart Russia and a fine sunset

We had a fine meal as we cruised to Tallinn.  We went up on the 11th floor viewing area.  We looked through the telescope,  saw a mystery spire, ships and had fun watching the sunset.  We watched from the 11th floor Observatory for a while and then went back to the room. After we are back in the room for 1/2 hour the sun peeked out again and I got more pictures. Leslie got to see the Green Flash but I was too busy with my technology trying to film everything.
My lovely dinner companion 

Steak tartar

Pancakes with lingonberry 

Wild mushroom soup 

Some caviar

Big tasty prawns

Seabream filet


A tiny island

We saw a spire barely visible on the horizon. You look through the telescope and we were able to see these two ships coming our way and thought perhaps they were the source of the Spire. It wasn't until we got to Tallinn that we saw that was actually a large building off the distance

Once we got back to the room we saw the Big Red Orb showing at the horizon

A lantern sun

Almost gone

The wide view of the sunset. I was filming a video while Leslie was watching and she was able to see the Green Flash. In the video the camera was confused but I could tell that it changed the color and shape after the sun went below the horizon
