Flooding in Riga

It is pretty bad all over the country.

Same old place

On the left by Saules Akmens building, another modern project is under construction. Gaismas pils (Castle of light) - national library. As far as I know, they decided to let the sun set in the same old place.

16 floorer

Check out what seems like a conservatory on the top floor.

Bolero, Panorama Plaza, Spice

... in the puddle.

Staro Riga - part I

These buildings are participants of light show Staro Riga. Skanstes highrises can be spotted miles away. This place now attracts lots of spectators, photographers and seems welcome to extraterrestrials as well :)

Riga, Skanstes area

I sometimes mess with 3D graphics. Here is imaginary higreise I drew next to Rietumu Banka box shped office building.

I promise that my artistic intervention in looks of Riga will stop here:)

Rīgas Kino Studija

Riga Motion Studio is one of the random mid-rises scattered all over Riga. It is the biggest in Europe (joke). To find out more visit their site here.

Miles from here

The central and main street through Riga is Brivibas (Eng.:Freedom) str. It stretches from Brivibas monument down till Brivdabas (Eng.:Openair) museum, of course you can't see miles from here.

What now?

Skanstes highrises - already finished, but quite empty. Anyway they fit in this plain area enriching the landscape.

Brivibas and Gertrudes corner

This is very long if not longest central street in Riga - Brīvības (Freedom) boulevard at its beginning. The high rise at far end is a Reval Hotel Latvia with amazing sky bar at the top floor.

Skanstes Virsotnes, Rietumu Banka

We took this one on our way to the Reval sky bar from somewhere beween 10th and 20th floor. You can see "Duntes nami" curved highrise furter behind.

Apmācies - overcast

Skyline of Riga. Highrises - Academy of Sciences, TV tower, Swedbank, Preses Nams, Vansu Bridge

Architecture in Riga

I wanted to post it for a long time and I'm leaving it to you to guess where or what is this spinning wall.

No escape

A quick snap through the car window of prison like highrise - just look at the size of windows.

Commies

Soviet time high rises and the far end of Pļavnieki neighborhood. There is a new high rise project coming up just behind these ones - called Solevile, I guess.

Traffic

As summer is approaching - here is a green-leaf pic form last August from Kalnceima bridge towards Ķīpsala island.
