No Parking

Another picture from town named Baltezers. Standing on the shore of the canal connecting two lakes, you can hardly imagine someone wanting to park a boat here. But the sign is there…
Rich Town?
Feb 5, 2008 Daily Life
Baltezers is known as the town where rich people live. There are two lakes with great houses on their shores. Rich inhabitants mean big taxes paid, and big taxes paid mean big money for everyone including other people. Walking around the town you can find many places where you can wonder where the tax money goes. Like this place in the photo.
Ghetto Or What?
Feb 4, 2008 Daily Life
This weekend I went around to make some pictures in grey weather conditions. I have to learn to do that since most of the winter is exactly like that.
I went to Baltezers to look for Riga water supply musem, I thought may be there was something worth making photos. At the motorway there was a sing saying that the place is 3km away. That was the only sign I saw. I followed it but didn’t see any further signs showing direction. So, I didn’t find it. So, I can’t tell you if there is anything worth seeing.
Instead I rushed into some industrial buildings dating something around the beginning of 20th century. I like these kind of buildings, but this place looked like some ghetto or something. A carpet hanging on the rope, abandoned greenhouses, abandoned gardens… Didn’t see anyone around, so I can’t tell you more about the place.
