ehhe... officially you cant go to Radissons platoform on other times cept Summer when theres a bar at the top... but i lurked to the 24th floor and saw 2 staff then i politly asked them to open the terrace for me... and i got a chance to make a couple of pics! Notice the countours of TTT2, sadly the building in front of the site blocks TTT1.. :(

@ch1le: Thanks, now I remembered it.
It seems that 2005 year is going to be a boom-year for all cities of the Baltic states.

Great. :okay: I agree that keep photographing. Seems that making basement for buildings takes much time, but after that buildings rise quite rapidly. I live quite near to this place and I saw today that one building
next to viadukt is already quite high.

[ch1le]

yep! It is! They built it in a sec or something... its this one:

About the projects..why aren't they doing anything..most of the days I haven't seen any workers on the Tornimäe complex c.site..
