This is the winning design for the Freedom Monument to be erected on Harjumägi, one of the most picturesque settings in the centre of Tallinn. Rather imaginatively, it is called Libertas.
It is 28 metres tall. It is f***ing ugly.

"Just joo" is what a Finn would say to that. Why choose a cross as a symbol of freedom? I find it ugly and creepy, like it would be calling out "it's crucifixion time, everyone" :-|
Then again, I'm an atheist, what do I know about crosses :-P
I think it sends out completely the wrong message. It looks very Nazi at a time when Estonia should *not* be associating itself thus.
It's not "fucking ugly," but it is a strange choice.
Well, it sure ain't pretty!
