[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Riga, the capital of Latvia, was officially founded in 1201.
Old Riga is the historical and geographical centre of Riga, located on the right bank of the Daugava River. Old Riga comprises a fairly small interior fortification system area (built during XIII-XVIII centuries), where unique middle-aged architectural monuments are concentrated.
The regular building of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is characteristic for the planning of the historic centre, oriented towards the direction of main streets in the Old City, which emerged approximately in the 14th century.

I hope you like it...

Bonjour Imre
Joli cliché de ces façades colorées à l'architecture particulière bien mise en valeur par une belle luminosité.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hi imre,
Gosto da foto pelas suas cores vivas e pelo enquadramento de edificios historicos, mas da para ver que ao lado está um edificio modermo, e penso que o enquadramento melhorava se mostrasses a diferença e a armonia entre edificios historicos e modernos.
Boas fotos
Paulo Monteiro

Hi Imre,
Majestic architecture in a terriffic golden light.
Funny how familiar this baltic city looks for a dutchman used to his own 'Hanze'cities.
Regards, Gerrit

Riga must be a lovely city: I heard it several times and your picture is an evidence of it. The square is captured with a really beautiful light which enhances the facade. Good perspective.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Imre,
Very nice shot with lovely colours. Excellent POV and definition. Very well framed and done.
Thanks and have a nice weekend,
Aires

Hello Imre,
Beautiful light... Amazing architecture!
I like your point of view, resulting in a dynmaic composition...
Excellent details and colours!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Very beautiful postcard from Riga. I love the golden tones of the buildings enhanced by the late afternoon light. Beautiful blue sky contrasting to those oranges. The architecture is incredible. Great shot!

Tere Imre,
Nice view from vecriga, the coloring of the building facade is lovely and brings warmth to this view, you also show good details in the shady areas.
Have a nice week end,
JEan-Yves

Good morning Imre!
The first thing we notice about this one is the beautiful light hitting the buildings. The rest of the buildings fall in shadows, but you have really managed to pick out the detail well through careful exposure. Nice one.
Best wishes
Mark

Of very attractive colors and an attractive sky.
A place full of charm and an attractive light which gives beautiful zones of shade( which contrast well on this brilliant red. Excellent centring.

Excellent shot with srong colors, very nice POV, I like the colors of the houses. Well done my friend!

The light on the building on the right is wonderful, casting a golden glow which emphasises the natural colour of the brickwork. Even though some of the shot is in the shade you have captured remarkable detail in all the architecture.

Hi Imre,
Well composed in fine light. The warm hues and tones of this historic part of the city are well appreciated. Having only been to Tallin, I can see the similar facades in the Old City. The people in the scene warmify the frame, while the church tower nicely balances. Well captured, Imre.
John

Imre,
nicely handed exposure of an interesting place. simply framed and somewhat elegant view awash in (afternoon) light..the contrast between light and shade is very good

Hello Imre, very good framing for a homogeneous environment of the light which magnifie these buildings, these frontages with textures of ochre colour, forms and colors varied invites clearly to a graphic reading, pretty blow of?il and good result, sincerely............Hello Imre, très bon cadrage pour une ambiance homogène de la lumière qui magnifie ces bâtiments, ces façades à la textures de teinte ocre, de formes et de couleurs variées invitent clairement à une lecture graphique, joli coup d’œil et bon résultat, bien amicalement

Hi Imre
Nice warm colouring to this shot. This picture shows that warm, soft light wins every time where photography is concerned. Lovely colours, ambience and a good town center scene. The tower is particularly impressive and the shadows of the buildings deliver a good sense of depth. Well done.

Aubrey

Hi Imre,

Always nice to visit your gallery, Imre. This strikes me in particular, I see it is high time I went to Riga again, I have been there once in 1981, and it didn't look that spectacular back then... Excellent light!

Cheers
Alexander
