Dreamflash Riga 2015 at Bastejkalns

It turns out this bubble-blowing event has been taking place for the fifth year running. Young and old gather with various containers of soapy water and blow soap bubbles of all sizes. After the gathering at Bastejkalns, a procession follows through the streets of Riga to Dome Square.

On this Sunday holiday, 3 May, we also stumbled by chance upon the meeting place of these soap bubble fans at Bastejkalns. Enjoy our photo report!

For information, from Wikipedia:

Soap bubbles are very thin films of soapy water that form spheres with an iridescent surface. Soap bubbles usually exist for only a brief moment and cease to be when they come into contact with other objects, or when the internal surface tension causes them to burst. Soap bubbles are usually played with by children, but they are also used as show elements in various performances intended for the entertainment of adults of all ages. The study of soap bubbles helps scientists solve various mathematical problems, as well as in the exploration of space.
