Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. EMBEST_120512_08.JPG: Washington Estonian School Student Art Exhibit 2011-2012 Theme: Map of Estonia Art teachers: Pille Anvelt and Liisi Fidler This is a map of Estonia. Estonia borders the Republic of Finland in the North across the Gulf of Finland, the Kingdom of Sweden in the West across the Baltic Sea, the Republic of Latvia in the South, and the Russian Federation in the East. The area of Estonia is 45 227 square kilometers. The Washington Estonian School children marked on the map where their roots are in Estonia. As you can see, our students come from all over Estonia. It is wonderful that every other Saturday little ambassadors from all over Estonia gather at the Washington Estonian School.
2. EMBEST_120512_14.JPG: Washington Estonian School Student Art Exhibit 2011-2012 Theme: Estonian national costumes Art teachers; Pille Anvelt and Liisi Fidler The tradition of national costumes goes back for many generations. The costumes were all hand made at home from wool or cotton fabric. The clothing was natural -- cotton was white, wool was white, brown, or black lamb wool. To get other colors, the fabrics were dyed with natural plant colors. Washington Estonian School children depict colorful traditional national costumes that originate in different regions of Estonia. The children have added their personal design touches to the national costumes in their drawings, just like in the old days outside design trends influenced forefather's fabrics.

Wikipedia Description: Estonian Embassy, Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Estonian Embassy (Estonian: Eesti Suursaatkond Washingtonis) in Washington is on Embassy Row at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and 22nd Street. The Republic of Estonia, along with Latvia and Lithuania, maintained a diplomatic mission throughout the years of Soviet domination; the Estonian Consulate General was based in New York City at 9 Rockefeller Plaza. With Estonia's independence in 1990, the legation quickly sought a new home, and in 1994 purchased the neoclassical mansion.

The building was originally built in 1905 for a wealthy doctor. It was later home to the Peruvian Embassy and for many years housed the Landon School. One of the more striking buildings on Embassy Row, its purchase was a major coup for the country. However, in 2001 it was severely damaged by a fire caused by faulty wiring. The building was completely refurbished and reopened in 2003.

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
