Have you seen similar tree sculptures - this one is in Mežaparks(Treepark)?

Hedera helix var. baltica

Here is another Ivy (efeja) in some back yard near Zemitany railway station.

Ivy on Avotu street in Riga (Hedera Helix - efeja)

It is very rear to see Baltic Ivy in Riga so high up the wall. I guess it is because of the warmth from those two chimneys - they keep the wall warm enough for Hedera to thrive in winter.

A lot to go and reach higher.

Relax

The warm weather and pulls out everyone all around the city.

Areal of Riga 1

This is just outside the border of western Riga.

Banana trees...

... and other tropical plants in the largest Cool-house in the centre of Riga city.

The noon

Location: between National Opera House and Freedom Monument (statue). Monuments are built for things that do not exist - I hope there is still some freedom in Latvia.

In between concrete blocks

Managing through - a new life fighting with the human intervention in nature through city building.

Miles from there

Even in a bright daylight you can't see yesterday's spot. This is miles from there, the other far end of Brivibas str. near Brivdabas (open air) museum.

Feel better

Discover your own city with rollerblades, I assure you, it will make you feel better next day.

Kindergarden

Well, this is the place we might want to return some day and start all over.

Concrete centre

"Rietumu" means West Capital Centre. That grass shouldn't be here! Really too much grass.

Riga Canal

Have not done reflections for a while - some water plants with big leaves in Canal near Barona street.

Green wall

Vines are very invasive and aggressive, but in the urban environment I welcome them a lot - pushes the artificial bee hive (city) a bit closer back to natural order.

Bastejkalns

Basteja hill is at the heart of Riga - on the border of Old Riga and it is part of a green ring separating Old Riga from historical Riga. There are theories about what is hidden in the hill underground, but those are just speculations.

Yellow and white

Yammy. A young bumblebee in suburbs.

Baltic Ivy (hedera helix)

This is a first evergreen ivy I found (in fact my mom noticed it) in the wild near Riga - in Jurmala. The winters can be harsh, therefore this must be very winter hardy because it has climbed some 4-5 metres above the ground.

Lapene, Pagoda in Kronvalda park

This far East looking shed in Kronvalda park, actually, is a gift from Suczhou (China) to Riga.

People resting at the Riga Canal

Not much to comment, really, apart from that this is a heart of Riga.
