Staro Rīga II
Nov 17, 2009 Festival
As I promised yesterday, today one more picture from festival Staro Rīga. They displayed ancient Latvian signs on the roofs of the buildings. The light and music show theme was human life from birth (child’s cry in the beginning) till death (ascending to heaven with the sound of clapping wings of a dove). Truly amazing, you have few more days to get there and see it yourself!

For five days we have this amazing light festival called Staro Rīga here. I haven’t seen much of it yet, we are planning to see most of the places and objects on 18th, but yesterday we went to Latvian Etnographic Open Air Museum to see a show that was just amazing! Tomorrow one more picture, stay tuned!

Latvian Ethnographic Open-Air Museum is a collection of old houses many centuries old. Houses are the real ones brought to the museum from their real locations to be preserved for the next generations. This in the photo is a part of Kurzeme farmstead.

Congratulations, this is my 100th post here! This has turned out to be a very interesting thing to do! Already looking forward to the next 100 posts! Hope this is a useful or at least interesting site to my visitors!
If you are wondering, what is this nuber 1697 - it is the year number on this building which is a harbor warehouse. This warehouse is located in the Latvian Ethnographic Open-air Museum in Riga with many other nice and old buildings.
