THE SOUL OF RIGA
Sunset Over Riga Skyline
History and Facts (ENG)
Riga’s skyline stretches along the banks of the Daugava River and reflects centuries of architectural history alongside modern developments. The city, founded in 1201, became a major trading port of the Hanseatic League and today is the largest city in the Baltic states.

Interesting Fact (ENG)
At dusk the city transforms — the old-town church spires and modern glass towers alike are silhouetted against orange and gold skies, offering a moment of calm above the river traffic and evening hustle.

Author’s Note (ENG)
I photographed this view of Riga just as the sun was dipping below the horizon. In that fleeting moment the city felt suspended between history and present — serene and alive at once. I wanted to capture the subtle golden light playing on bricks, water and metal, reminding us that Riga is both timeless and in motion.
