Even the birds are fossils I saw this nest of birds outside one of the fancy art shops in Riga. It's always a sign of a wealthy city when you see so many studios and shops that are selling ornaments.
Judging by the price of this piece I would say that Latvians have a healthy disposable income for luxuries... |

|  | A Reminder of the Past Riga has a fine seafaring tradition and this impressive monument is to remind us of those lost at sea.
The style of the monument impressed me, and also tells more about Riga's previous connections. |
