Project Z- towers, Z-torņi.

Tower (in Latvian - tornis) in Old English was called "torr", meaning high structure - from Latin turris.
Possibly linked to Etruscan verb turan "to rule" and later tyrant (in Latvian - tirāns).

In other words - a tyrannical structure ruling over Riga skyline.

Crane

Navigating technology. More important than politics because they do real things and do not waste time in front of TV camera.

At work

Cleaning the wall with water jet.

Rietumu banka (in the back ground)

Jupiter Centre - even when economy has fallen through the floor, there are some guys with positive outlook of the future.

Da Vinci site

Here is a skyscraper u/c... on ice.

Deception

Ever wondered who pays for the party (construction of Castle of Light - Gaismas Pils)? Could it be the leftovers of Latvian forests?

Gaismas Pils

Castle of Light. 8th floor is being done now. This is NOT the last floor, which will be in use. There will be 3 floors above before reaching the floors which will probably have limited functionality.

Stroll

A lone worker on the construction site.

Slavu pārvads Dienvidu Tilts

South Bridge extension (despite EVERYTHING - crisis, enormous cost, controversy...) keeps making its way through what used to be an air space.

Gaismas Pils bibiliotēka

One mega project that is still being pushed by government despite economic meltdown in Riga is National Library. See the home page here.

Slāvu pārvads

Slavic flyover under construction - a part of many kilometers long Southern Crossing in, as you have guest, Southern Riga.

Two alien tails.

Da Vinci

The most construction projects has been put on ice. Da Vinci high rise in Ķīpsala is one of the rear one's that is continuing (after being completely flooded few years ago) at a slow pace.

Children pushing bikes

Imanta is mostly commie block district. Like in many places now, there are some unfinished buildings there as well. When I was a child I used to play with them - we called them stroykas (from Russian word "to construct").

Gaujas street flyover

Trio having a little rest - probably reflecting on their successful erection of the structure:)

Eastern highway

Behind the wall is a road and a flyover bridge is u/c.
