Spring in Latgale - Ludza

Between the last patches of snow, green shoots push their way through; snowdrops are in full bloom, and the skies are endlessly blue above the still-frozen Little and Great Ludza lakes, above the ancient hill fort, the white Catholic church towers, and us. And by the bridge connecting the two lakes, in whose nook lies Ļucina, a pair of white swans busily goes about its business.
