Riga a Few Hours Before the Year of the Rabbit

A traditional walk with a camera in hand through the streets of Old Riga and Riga's city centre on the evening of 31 December. This year I captured the New Year's Eve feeling from white mulled wine and a caramelised apple at Dome Square. I must say, this year Riga was bathed in lights of various colours, with an avenue of 25 fir trees and a huge panoramic wheel at Līvu Square.

A novelty this year - large stylised photo frames in which you can take pictures as a memento of this New Year, the city, and its festive decorations. Vērmanes Garden, meanwhile, was quiet and calm this time, hosting only the Live Riga project - fir trees from 25 countries with flags of various nations.
