Do you have anything that blue in your city envirnment?

TV tower and a railway bridge

Over the bridge

Saules akmens, swedabanka, railway, train and a side of tram.

Barge

The artificial peninsula "AB dambis" from Kipsala island.

From Salu Bridge

The view from above Daugava river towards North.

1905

70 people were shot dead and about 200 injured during peaceful demonstration by army forces in 13th of January 1905. That was the beggining of revolution. This monument is on 13th Janvara str. by the river Daugava near Railway bridge.

Rail Bridge

Ice covers river Daugava. After many years of mildness Europe gets proper winter.

Transport

Tram network in Riga is well developed and possibly will be expanding to distant Bergi area that is still with in the boundary of Riga.

Riga Old Town

Old Town from the Rail Bridge.

Rail Bridge over Daugava river

Good news in this rather worrying financial climate are always welcome - here comes one for Riga city. With newly installed illuminated Railway Bridge Riga has won the honorable LUCI prize of second best illuminated city in the World. Riga came after Seul in award ceremony in Mexico.

From a distance

St. Peter's church from other side of the river Daugava. Take a closer look to see a rooster.
The arches of railway bridge seems hiding behind the trees.

Lit up

When lit up, the old railway bridge makes a perfect accent for a fabulous night scene to capture from Pardaugava towards Riga centre.

Five segments

The old metal arch bridge lost its charm every time the sun sets. But that is a history, beacause few weeks ago the railway bridge across Daugava was lightened at last, and now I would call it the most beautiful bridge at night. Here you can see a train in motion as well.

Mandala

Let your chakras open wide and listen. They will tell you: "This is not a mandala, it's a bridge over the river Daugava!" And when you realize it really is not a mandala, you will feel that the force is strong with you and that everything is in harmony again. Tomorrow I will post the rest four segments. :)
