Photographing Rummu quarry (Murru prison)

English: A weathered light-colored brick wall at Murru Prison with dark graffiti reading "BLOKK 14" and windows, one with bars, creating a grim atmosphere. Estonian: Ilmastikust kulunud heledat värvi telliskivisein Murru vanglas, millel on tume grafiti "BLOKK 14" ja aknad, millest üks on trellidega, luues sünge atmosfääri.

A flooded limestone quarry where the walls of a Soviet prison labour camp slowly sink into turquoise water, beside a pale spoil hill. Strong on still mornings, and eerie in winter when the ruins stand in ice.
