One pleasant surprise in Tallinn is the abundance of beautifully decorated and colorful doors to many houses and other buildings. I took 21 pictures and will only include a few here. I rummaged through tourist books and Googled but could not find any explanation for this phenomenon. Is this a centuries old custom in Tallinn? Is it widespread in northern Europe? Are there any special meanings attached to the various designs and colors? I have no idea, but will try to find out more.
