On Sunday we were in Aglona. By car, for a change. This will only be interesting to the participants, and even then, highly unlikely.

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 has 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 state 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" on top. Nearby is a sign reading "JĀNIS RAKSTA ATKLASMES GRAMATU", and rows of decorative shrubs are visible in the background.

We almost thought it was that very Janis, but it turned out to be John the Baptist.

This, it turns out, is the Ark.

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

And here's me next to Adam and Eve.

Pan Mosalski Prezzo.

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

A bald hedgehog is terrifying.

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

I was weird, and I stayed weird.

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

Lena.

Sat down on a stump to rest.

Two men in summer clothes stand full-length on a paved path on a green hill, one throwing 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 sculpture of a figure and green trees. One of the men has a raised fist, while another holds a phone and a bottle. 

Everyone together

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

Started boozing again.

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