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?
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…
As I was showing Latvia to our Austrian friends, I told them that in Latvia almost all is made of sand. Also these cliffs near Tūja (called Veczemju cliffs) are made of sand. But nice ones, aren’t they?
Main pedestrian street in Cēsis. On this street there are some nice restaurants, shops etc. But it is not so crouded as Cēsis is quite small town.
One more from Old Riga.
We could experience some problems with this blog next week. I have plans to move it to another hosting and blogging platform. Let’s see what comes out!
Not much to comment on
Continuing with streetlamps - there is another one - near the City Hall.
Streetlamp on the wall of the St.John’s church in Old Riga.
Riga has always been very international city. This wall painting is from the pre-war time.
This is fun. You can hardly find true Latvian words here. Pizza (Italian), sushi (Japanese), kaljan (Russian word for water pipe). Business lunch (English).
