Description
The Latvian capital of Riga is the largest city of the Baltic States. Its abundance of gothic spires, onion domed churches and beautifully restored early 20th Century Art Nouveau architecture (widely accepted to be the finest collection in the world) make it an absolute joy to photograph. Alberta Iela (Albert Street) has a particularly large concentration of ornate architecture and is well worth a visit to see some very fine examples of the Art Nouveau architectural style. The building pictured here, at No.13, built in 1904, was designed by Russian architect Mikhail Eisenstein as were many of the Jugendstil structures of this period. The city certainly deserved the title of European Capital of Culture in 2014. I hand blended a little texture with my original photograph to compliment the old world feel of this classic Latvian street scene.
