Apple blossoms

Most beautiful time of the year. This May is only about blooming. It`s hardly to see houses, all trees are like white and pink clouds.

Unce upon a time....there was no electricity.

Such lanterns are used by tourists in Cesis castle museum.

Can you imagine life without electricity now? It`s hard... but sometimes it`s nice to forget about electricity: suddenly there are things you can`t do and there are new things you can do, working and living conditions change, different thoughts come to your mind. In winter 2005/2006 we had a big storm in Latvia and almost all households, shops etc. were without electricity for a day and even more. We were sitting in dark at candle lights, drinking strong tea and talking, talking, talking... Suddenly we got so much time to spend just on one another, no TV, no books, no computer. Great!

Present to the Millennium

Present to the Millennium (2000.)

This sculpture was Valmiera`s (city in Northern Latvia) symbol for almost 7 years. Not everyone likes this sculpture, some call it "Helicopter lady". Sculpture can be seen driving to the city centre by main street in little square. Interesting for photographers, `cause it changes as light changes.
