On Sunday we went to Aglona. By car, for a change. It'll probably only be interesting to the participants, and even then, I doubt it.

A smiling blonde woman gets out of a dark green Audi parked on the grass against the backdrop of a picturesque lake and forest. A man and another woman stand next to the car. 

Anya just recently started driving and is very happy about it.

 

A wooden memorial sign with carved crosses and religious inscriptions in Latvian is set in a clearing, and in the background a woman in a white dress sits on a wooden seat. 

The lady in the background told us that everything here was made with donor money, especially from a businessman named Janis. The government and the European Union have nothing to do with it.

On a green grassy slope stands a wooden sculpture of a bearded man with a book, carved from a tree trunk, with the inscription 'JĀNIS' at the top. Nearby is a sign with the text 'JĀNIS RAKSTA ATKLASMES GRAMATU', and rows of decorative bushes are visible in the background.

We thought for a second that this was that same Janis, but it turned out to be John the Baptist.

This, it turns out, is the ark.

Two men with glasses stand on a paved area against a background of trees: one in a green t-shirt is filming with a digital camera next to a tall wooden sculpture, the other in a striped shirt is smiling with his arms crossed.

And this is me next to Adam and Eve.

Pan Mosalski Prezzo.

A man with a short haircut and glasses in a blue striped shirt, with crossed arms, smiles softly, looking to the right, against the backdrop of a lake and a cloudy evening sky. 

The bald hedgehog is terrifying.

A smiling man with glasses, an olive sleeveless t-shirt and light shorts stands behind a wooden fence with his hands folded in front. He is wearing a dark backpack, and a dense forest and a lake are visible behind him. 

I'm as weird as I ever was.

A young woman with brown hair and red glasses stands in a field of tall grass with her hands on her hips, looking away. In the background there is a forest and a power line pole.

Sat down on a stump to rest.

Two men in summer clothes stand full-length on a paved path amidst a green hill, one with a friendly arm around the other's shoulder. In the background, carved wooden sculptures, a metal arch, and a blue sky with light clouds are visible.

Friends

A group of six people poses under a metal arch against the backdrop of a large wooden figure sculpture and green trees. One of the men has raised his fist, and another is holding a phone and a bottle in his hands. 

All together

A bald man in a bright blue-green shirt stands on a wooden bridge and drinks from a green glass bottle, holding a phone in his other hand. In the background, a hilly landscape with trees and a parked truck are visible. 

Hitting the booze again.

A group of people walks along a paved path surrounded by wooden sculptures in the form of human figures. In the background there is a pond with a wooden house by the water, green hills, and a forest.
