Brothers Henry and Piers Nathan, of the world famous @Canon_photos Instagram account, came to Estonia’s mightiest island Saaremaa to glimpse some of best under the radar coastal landscapes. ‘I love exploring lesser-known destinations – places I discover for the first time when I arrive,’ explains Henry. They were just in time to experience the mystical white nights and most anticipated holiday in the North: Midsummer.
The journey began at the photogenic 14th century Kuressaare Castle and the nearby Kaali meteorite crater, the eighth largest in the world. Midsummer festivities commenced in the evening with a bonfire on Sõrve peninsula and carried on all night.
