A Beaver in the Border Zone

No, no, there's no mistake in the title. It turns out that such a border zone (if you believe the several bright signs on the seashore) exists right here in Riga, at Daugavgrīva beach. Here you can also find forgotten, half-collapsed, and overgrown bunkers, and you can view the fortress walls and the sites of former artillery defence positions.

A walk to the Northern Breakwater yesterday brought yet another surprise. It turns out that on Saturday afternoon the beach was visited by a beaver that had wandered in from goodness knows where - it would swim ashore from time to time, but frightened by the beachgoers it kept returning to the sea to swim further and look for a place to settle.
