Triin Katariina Tammert: Võru town donned its summer look

Writer and columnist Triin Katariina Tammert reflects on the town of Võru and the two faces of Estonian small towns-the vibrant bustle of summer and the peaceful silence of the other seasons. The short Estonian summer feels particularly precious and inspires making the most of those fleeting warm months.

Writer and columnist Triin Katariina Tammert admits she loves both sides of Estonian small towns equally-the sparkle of the summer season and the quiet peace of autumn, winter, and spring.

Tammert highlights the town of Võru, which in summer becomes an entirely different place than it is for the rest of the year. The summer bustle brings life to the streets, events, and people, giving the small town a completely different character.

According to the columnist, Estonia's short summer feels particularly precious because of its brevity. This transience encourages making the most of each summer day and appreciating what may not be as obvious at other times of year.
