Majori seaside in snow

[Tanja]

Yesterday I was on lesson about Latvia manorhouses building history. Lector was in Latvia famous and aware art scientist Imants Lansmanis.
It happen in Durbe manorhause, near small city Tukums, about 60 km from Riga.

Durbes manorhaus – beautiful small tipical for WestLatvia, build in 18th century, clasicismus style.
Today here is situated museum.
By the way to Riga I go out the train for look how is on seaside in this cold winter days.

I would like share with you my impressions :-)

OH, very nice pictures, gorgious classical style, with a bit of sorrow in the sunset, but with humour too (icy cats looking to the sea). But I'd better your look on the Bruegelian landscape. What culture does for us, is to give historical deepness, weight of beauty and poetry to anything we live. Keys for understanding the world all around, and friendly thoughts to our cultural roots. Thank you so much!
