Autumn Fair
Sep 29, 2008 Daily Life
This set of images is from this year’s autumn fair. We have about four (I don’t know exact number) fairs taking place in the Dome square of Riga. They are all about the same, but every one of them has its own focus. In autumn you can buy vegatbles, especially pumpkins. So my focus in this picture set is on pumpkins.
Halloween is coming?
Lamprey Catching
Sep 28, 2008 Other
This is a lamprey catching site near the town of Salacgrīva. Lampreys here are very tasty, quite expensive fish, but not everyone likes it because they somehow think of eating snakes…

International City

Riga has always been very international city. This wall painting is from the pre-war time.
Really International Restaurant
Sep 16, 2008 City
This is fun. You can hardly find true Latvian words here. Pizza (Italian), sushi (Japanese), kaljan (Russian word for water pipe). Business lunch (English).
