Daugava excavation
Yesterday saw this ship digging Daugava river bed. I don't know what for that was done but it made me remember about the crazy plans of some local businessmans - "Herson canal" project which proposes to dig Daugava river, elongate it and by digging the canal join Daugava with Dnieper river, thus making sea-lane from Riga to the Black sea.
Vakar redzēju šo kuģi rokam Daugavas gultni. Nezinu, kāpēc tas tika darīts, taču tas man lika atcerēties par dažu vietējo biznesmeņu trakajiem plāniem - Hersona kanāla projektu, kas paredz izrakt Daugavas gultni, pagarināt to un izrokot kanālu, savienot Daugavu ar Dņepru, tādā veidā izveidojot jūrasceļu no Rīgas līdz Melnajai jūrai.

I love how the vastness of the river dwarfs the heavy equipment.
