The guy with the daffodil is painter Karlis Padegs. He died in 1940 and he didn't get a chance to ride through Riga on a trolleybus because it was introduced in 1947. Trolleybus operates on electricity like tram only instead of rail tracks there are cable routes. The yellow building behind is Latvian University.

Padegs was leaning back against the wall with a smirk on his face and a yellow flower in his hand.

Love it! Especially the daffodils.
Looks like he is waiting for the trolley. Nice photo.
wow just find your blog. I'm been in 1999 in latvia in a city near Riga thats could Jelgava i realy enjoyed it
Just love everything about this photo, the angle, the theme, the total immersion into what Riga is about.
Nice shot.
I absolutely love this photograph!
nice. but Karlis Padegs was indeed a very "thin" and "tall" man..
The statue and the building are quite lovely. Can you post another photo of the statue from a different angle some time, please?
Love this pic. Had a chance to see some of your other daily photos ... excellent. Makes me want to visit your city!
