Jot gets a new job

Randy Sloan July 18, 2014

Doors of Tallinn

Randy Sloan July 18, 2014

The door on lower right is from the KGB’s communications and surveillance room in the Hotel Veru. The spies claimed nothing was going on. They even labeled the room “Nothing is here”.

Latvian Ethnographic Open Air Museum

Randy Sloan July 14, 2014

Latvian Ethnographic Open Air Museum exhibition of Northern Russian culture.

I asked if the embroidery strip of cloth was placed above doorway for good luck or to ward off evil spirits. The amused docent said it was to keep exhibition visitors from hitting their head on the low portal.
