They all sat down..

This is an evening in Riga Dome Square with people having beer or whatever. The Dome church in the background is 800 years old and it wasn't built in one go. What you can see is a result of interactive process over centuries and haven't seen significant changes in its shape only over last 200 years.

The photo is great when enlarged ... It is interesting to see how many churches are the result of centuries of construction. Today we seem to only build to today. It is hard to imagine a long term commitment which surpasses multiple life times.

Wonderful, makes you want to be part of it. They have the Night of the Museums in France too, which is great, but not in Australia (sad) !

Beautiful! Kind of similar to the main squares here in Poland. Something that is sorely missing in England!
