Memorial to Janis Rainis
Pictures and text by Mark R. Hatlie
These pictures were taken in Riga during the first week of September, 2007. This memorial is one of the most well-liked in the city. There are often flowers lying in front of it. During the week I was in Riga, it was being renovated, so the context shows an ugly fence being set up around the memorial.
His gravesite is also an impressive memorial.

The memorial is located on the Esplanade. |
