Plunging deep into the heart of the former Soviet Block.

Riga, Latvia

A city of contrasts.

Lots of outdoor dining in amongst some interesting architecture.

....and a couple of Riga's most distinctive features:-

Sort of like the Eiffel tower only triangular....and yellow.

The highly unusual suspension bridge with a very modern looking building alongside.

Another angle.

Here's a combination of different things....

....and here's a close-up view of the steeple.

The old and the new.....

This one's so new I don't even know what it is.

Klaipeda, Lituania

Peaceful & friendly.

Right in the center of town.

....and the people dancing, singing and having a good time.

It's a good thing they put the name of the town on top of one of
the most prominant buildings....otherwise people might forget where they are :-)

On the other hand, what is "iki"?

Look familiar???

And this is the big and the small of it.....

Apparently, this is the local brand of beer (mmmmm).

Gdynia, Poland

A colorful little town.

Gdynia's main street....

....and a close up of the fountain

A local theatre:-

...and this rather attractive-looking establishment close by.

Whatever they're selling, the frog's kinda cute.

I don't know who this guy is but he didn't seem to mind standing still for the photo.

Tallinn, Estonia

A country on the move.

Old-town Tallinn, looking out across the rooftops.

A super-modern shopping mall sandwiched between two slices of old-town.

A couple of ordinary-everyday cathedrals (at least for Tallinn).

The local old-town taxis.

Olde Hansa restaurant....where you go to get drunk.

St. Petersburg, Russia

Oh boy, what architecture!!

St. Isaac's Cathedral.

Hmmmmm.....a building with a lighthouse on top??

The spire of the St. Peter & St. Paul Cathedral.

The Church of the spilled blood.

A couple of typical urban streets.

The Russian version of a totem pole.

They certainly know how to build sandcastles 'round here!

I guess that's Russian for 'The Red Lion'.

....and a very Russian-looking shop.

The Hermitage museum with Alexander column in front (and lots of people).

Phew!! - I think I definitely saved the best 'till last!!!
