I will be doing a series on streets and alleys of the Baltic countries.
I have been to all the Baltic capitals which includes visiting of some of the UNESCO Heritage sites like Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn etc.
What I found most interesting are the alleys and the streets which all have their own characteristics.
I am not able to tell you exactly where those alleys and streets are; in my simple mind, they are my memorable parts of the Baltic.
I like the cobblestones, the quaint street, the colored walls on both sides of the alleys, the cafes along or encroached onto the roads, the crude masonry wall facing and last, but not the least, the friendly people.
They leave an undeletable part in my memory!
The red wall is wonderful!
This reminds me a bit of similar walls in Beijing.
Artist by nature.Great post.
Yes, like them!
Yes.
🙂
I have great memories of these countries. Most of all I liked Vilnius! What about you, Michael? Best regards Martina
I beg to differ, I think I like Riga best!
But find hem quite similar and have mixed up in my memory.
Riga is absolutely great but I felt more at home in Vilius. I hope you don’t mind my including the link to my post about the city:https://rivella49.wordpress.com/2014/09/28/vilniustrakaiperlen-des-baltikums/
All the best!
Thanks for the link, I can see why you are more comfortable with Vilnius!
I like the contrast between the red wall and the smaller paintings of the street artist. This particular picture deserves to be enlarged. I have found that to be true of several of your photos. Click on one and all the details pop out. I wonder why WP does not “allow” larger formats?
How have you been Michael?
I like photographing street artists. Unfortunately WP doesn’t have that feature, but you can enlarge it easily on an iPad.
These weeks were spent taking mom for more medical treatment – vertigo, high blood pressure, parotitis etc. I am glad that I can do away with so many posts using mainly my unpublished photos of the Baltic.
I hadn’t thought about the Ipad. I mostly go to WP on the computer. Vertigo and blood pressure are probably related. How is your mother’s weight? Stable? 🙂
(And your Baltic photos are great. No worry)
Mom’s weight was down 0.6 kg in the two weeks before this happened, may have lost further weight since then.
Hmm. Make sure she takes her “Ensure” or whatever it is called over there. I hope she still walk around as much as possible. Moderate exercise is good.
Yes, she is still taking Prosure; she is on a wheelchair and dosen’t like to move around too much.
The recent health problems have made her skipped the hydrotherapy for two times; but she’s back at it this week. I hope she can continue. Many thanks for your kind thoughts!
I am glad that we are connected on Linkedin too.
