Strongmen

A bit of Riga festival few days ago. Strongmen of Baltics and Scandinavia compete in pulling beer kegs on sledge near Riga castle.
P.S. You can see Gipsa fabrika (Gypsum factory) with a high chimney in the background.

Restaurant

In yesterday's post I mentioned the restaurant by the riverside, but today I thought, that there are people, who might be curious of what it looks like. Well here I found one photo of that place. The "Fabrikas restorans" is on the corner.

Former factory

On the left bank of the river Daugava is a former factory, that has been reconstructed and renovated into residential complex. In the photo you can see the inner yard with a chimney, that marks "Gipsa fabrika" in a landscape and helps people find their home even from a long distance :) By the way, there is a wonderful restaurant by the riverside.
