The Russian community in Riga is pretty huge and they were celebrating The Day of Victory (some 7000 people were there). I took plenty of photos. At one point I climbed up in a tree to get a better view, though after I took some five shoots police spotted me and asked to get myself back on the ground - this is when I had to land:)

Your narrative make me smile :)
Nice shot!
That's a lot of flowers. Could be in Holland! Very interesting commentary. Lovely photo.
I haven't see that many fresh flowers placed on the ground since Princess Diana's death - remember?
very pretty - could you smell all those flowers?
A.C.A.B.
Great photos btw.
I could smell them a bit, and very likely most of them were imported from Holland. Thanks for comments:)
landing to wonderland..amazing!
Answer to "...celebrating the "Day of Victory." from Andrei Sakharvo's widow, Jelena Bonner:
"Dear friends! I greet you all on Victory Day!...Yet with each passing year I understand more deeply and more bitterly that victory has been stolen from both those who died, as well as those who survived the war: 364 days a year belong to the marauders. And only one day - May 9 - belongs to us. Yet this year even this has been spoiled by new rabble - sham patriots with their theatrical OFFENDED VICTOR-LIBERATOR...We have freed no one, not even ourselves..."
