Photo look in history: Riga now and then

Photo look in history: Riga now and then

I have always been interested in, unless time travelling, then at least imagining how concrete place looked before century or two and how could it look in the future. Especially in cities, for a long time lived places, comes a feeling that every concrete place saves many century informative layers and it needs to be just little more attentive, so you could see them. But as I don’t have any paranormal abilities, so I just took my camera and went to center, so I could take some photos with Riga streets, buildings and squares and little bit later to compare with in Letonika data base found history photos. I need to say, that I found many interesting details.
