Autumn in Riga

Autumn in Latvia usually lasts for a long period of time, in measured tones and with sense, the trees get yellow or red then fall slowly, one by one, each in its time. In September-October people from Riga go to Sigulda - that's the tradition - but we decided to walk around Riga and take a trip to Cesis, where a medieval castle still stands with a park next to it. Who would think that it would snow in two weeks... (photos are taken in mid-October 2003). All pictures open in a new window, the size of the large pictures does not exceed 120-140 Kb


Slokas Street on the left bank of Daugava

The entry to the Shroud-brigde, not everyone is excited about it - jams and other problems, and the beauty around stays unnoticed!

Kipsala is an island in the centre of Riga, on which sky-scrapers are built, as for now, there are quite country-like streets here

The centre of the city is just over the river

And these are the new buildings on Kipsala

The Hansabanka sky-scraper is beeng built on the other side of Kipsala

The garden next to the President's Castle

The embankment

The Old Town under the rain

It turns out, that there are cows not only in Ventspils, this one was caught next to the Rigas Udens (Riga Waters) building

The rain lets the monuments shine in all the colors of the rainbow (the Monument of Liberty)

... An old silent park

The "New Centre" - the streets of the beginning of the 20-th century

The park again and some ducks... grazing

The bus has already departed...

Modern style variations

Gertrudes street - very "modern"
