Riga

Recording from the 6th floor of the Latvian Library in Riga. Huuuuge foyer and the child throwing a tantrum echoed all throughout.

I clicked into this because of a childhood memory: my dad carpooled to work with a man from Latvia, who had a personalized license plate that said "RIGA". That car spent a lot of time parked in front of my house smile When I saw the title, I had to see if it was what I thought it was. Yes, yes it was.

Loved the sense of place in the recording. Kids don't much care where they are when they melt down. But the amazing echo made me wonder what that atrium looked like. Went to look it up....oh my, what an amazing building. Striking and beautiful.

Thank you for the small vacation in the middle of my Tuesday morning smile
