Uzvaras park

One of the places to escape city for relative nature in Riga is Uzvaras park. It's Riga's Tiergarten or Hydepark, although not as brought-up, neither as popular. But it's nice and large enough to hide from traffic noise and gasoline smell. In the background there are reminders of developing city - as in this photo, you see Riga's and Baltic's highest skyscrapers (Z-Towers) rising up. [full_width]
