Shots from Latvia

[Didache]

HI all

I have just returned from a few days in Riga, the capital of Latvia. Here are a few shots ...

The first is called (believe it or not!) the House of the Blackheads. It was a medieval guild house for unmarried merchants.

Riga is known for it's art nouveau architecture, mostly designed by Eisenstein (the father of the Eisenstein who made Battleship Potempkin, one of the classics of cinema). Two examples of that.

The fourth is inside the market. The market is housed inside five giant zeppellin sheds built by the Germans during the war.

The final one is just me being arty-farty with the tram tracks

Cheers
Mike
