Temporary Riga photos are being published not in a regular manner due to blog author has moved to Vilnius.
Mazā Jaunavu iela (
Damsel lane) is a short
narrow street in Town connecting Skunu and
Maza Monetu streets.
Usually so quiet and dark streets are being misused by local bums or drunks :(
What would you do if you see something like that?

Today is Friday, so why not just take a seat on
freedom street right in front of
hotel Latvia and have some smoke and drink with old buddy?
Sometimes when I see such "free from everything" people, I get really curious - what do they have in their minds?

Sometimes
Yokels are being called as
Urlas in Latvia. These three are waiting for
trolleybus at stop or just taking a rest.
I took this photo at
Avotu iela, which is very famous for such daily pictures.

Queue of
indigent and homeless people for free food on
Kr. Barona Street.
This mess opened more than 10 years ago by
Riga Hare Krishna community.
During this time they have feed about 4 millions people, so it almost 5 times more than Riga population. Of course some of the people come here for meal everyday.
Interesting is the fact that all these people enjoy reading. Some of them read higher mathematics or even political news :)

I found
Guntis (54) boiling potatoes on
Akmenu street, next to
LNB future building.
He reluctantly told his tragic story..
Briefly, tens years ago his
wife has gone to another man, but Guntis stayed to live in house legally belonging to wife..
After years all houses near to future
building of LNB were
demolished and legal owners got some compensation.
Of course his wife didn't even think to share the compensation with her ex-husband Guntis, who lived there for more than 30 years :(
See
Pirate as well.

- Don't hit, I am already beaten..I found this
bomzh or
bomj (
bum) (with Rolex on his left hand) in a stairway of my house late night.
He was sleeping on the floor and has bled all beneath him.
When it is cold outside,
Riga bums often get into basements or garrets of apartment buildings, but I really dislike when they stink next to me.
