Do you have any trees left in your country?

Fishing on the ice - made from Kundziņsala.

Playing with lights

Snowy day in Riga, I guess the winter has arrived.

We've been getting a lot of sleet lately

A deer on Kalnciema street

A one season sculpture, I guess.

Market

Another shot form a busy day in the Central Market.

Glass

Here is another piece of architecture - slightly more modern than the previous one.

Wooden architecture

This is Birznieka-Upisa (Birznieka-Upīša) street with abandoned pearl.

It is gone

Half of the house missing.

Winter effects

Immense icicles are one of the hazards you should be aware when walking these streets.

Garages

Here is some rusting in progress distributed evenly across garage doors.

Snowed in

Riga and Latvia is covered in a snow in places thicker than 50cm. Check out theat green Žiguli.

nICE weather

When it is icy, it is better to slow down a bit.

Ivy (efeja)

Another one I found in Riga - these evergreen species do not reach up too high in this climate - that's why they always fascinate me.

Snow

Buried a lot, but not as bad as Estonia... I guess.

Ice rink

This was cleared few days ago. Waste of time - it is all gone after yesterday snow fall.

Gaismas pils (The Light Castle)

Just another angle of National Library. There is a rumor around the city - there will be some government supported secret technology installed on top of the building related to transmitting radio signals.

Snow

Global cooling is here. Seriously? Yeah, check the graph of temperatures dropping/being stable for last 10 years. Also, check out the mini global warming ten hundred years ago here.
