Night out

Here is another night club in Riga called ESSENTIAL. I think I have been there once years ago. This used to be a cinema some 20 years ago - called Pionieris (Pioneer).

Snow

Global cooling is here. Seriously? Yeah, check the graph of temperatures dropping/being stable for last 10 years. Also, check out the mini global warming ten hundred years ago here.

Jet

Even though it does not look like food at all, I call them "Take Away"...

2012

With all the mythology going on about 2012, I found another "Mayan" calendar in Latvia... if not, something reasonably ancient anyway :)

Empoyment agency

Here are few street banners indicating the kind of services Rigan's have created demand for.

Latvian flag

Red and white against a cloudy sky.

Kiosk

Some places in city centre are surprisingly degraded.

Canavas

Is it not too loud in there?

Elefant

Posted before here is another view of recently built hotel not far from airport.

Manisfestation

Devil himself. Sometimes I wonder why would someone put something like this on his house on top of the entrance?

Banks. The art of deception.

"Financial solutions for your welfare..." This is how it translates. It is funny how a word "solutions" is used for doing the exactly the opposite - creating problems by charging the interest. The question is - these are solutions for whom exactly?

Dzirnavu street at night

Another puddle-dimension.

Zeitgeist

Sex, love & money.
I am currently being forced to watch corporate or political "art" on posters, instead I would love to see them replaced by graffiti.

Graffiti

A colourful addition to Riga landscape on Kalnciema street.

Barona street

Two already earlier reported new low floor trams.

Gandrs

"Nāc kāpt" - come on in and climb up. This a shop for recreational activities.

Cat

Warming up on the bonnet.

Ready for you

A row of clamps waiting eagerly (possibly red from being angry) for parking offenders.

Logistics

Rather large stones are being transported away. Pay attention to the number plate - KRONE.

Playground

This is a school backyard in Chiekurkalns (Čiekurkalns).

Autumn

Last leafs holding tight.

Gallery Park Hotel

Located at the beginning of Valdemara street, it is one of thevery few 5 star hotels in Riga.

A woman

"Viss būs labi" (everything is going to be fine) and F*** off in the background.

Riga Airport project

Visit this site to vote for the best airBaltic terminal concept.


The one bellow (number 10) is my favorite.

Valdemāra pasāža

This is recently built/renovated inner block of offices, clubs, pubs and shops on the outskirts of Riga city centre.
