Ziemeļu Vārti

Ziemelu Varti
Ziemeļu Vārti (North Gate) is another office building, which adorns Riga since 2006.
It is located on the fork of two streets, Brivibas iela and Cesu iela, and technically belongs to Brasa area.
I have absolutely no idea why it's named Northern Gate. Eastern Gate (location-wise) would suit much better.

Water Leak

Water Leak
Yesterday almost a half of Riga inhabitants were without water supply, because of a catastrophic pipe leak near Brasa Railway station.
Railway tracks were covered with 40cm (1,3 feet) water layer and looked more like a water channel or a small river.
