The first stop was a gallery of Riga before WW1 - amazing - the same shapes, buildings, but without cars, very few people (funny dressed though), so neat and clean and no such thing as asphalt.
I love that tram
The Albert street - the ultimate art-niveau, looks a bit cleaner and neater. Yeah and we got electricity there :).
Such a spaciousness near the opera.
Funny sight - no monument of Freedom, but tram and monument for Tsar Peter I.
My next stop was at some trendy tool that leads you through the sights and panoramas around the Old town - nice job guys, never thought that someone in Latvia could pull themselves to waste some money on such a neat stuff.
And the last remarkable discovery was a guy (or a group) who is publishing a pic of Riga each day in a blog dedicated just for this purpose. The same city, same sights, different view and eye of a camera.

I hardly can recognize Riga, though i have been there several times. But i like old pictures, i have some stronger feeling for them usually, maybe because they are black and white...dunno...
Most different part is where the monument of freedom is placed right now, the others are almost the same, just with less green stuff, more people and cars. Next time when you'll be in Riga, I suggest you to visit Alberta street - the whole street of art-niveau.
