This is a plate by Latglavenergo that says "To repair or change pillow-blocks without the presence of a representative from a cable department is dangerous to your health". This plate could be around 30 years old, found on Hospitāļu street in Riga.

Garden city in Ziepniekkalns







If the road linking the Southern bridge and Jelgavas highway will be expanded this territory will be leveled to the ground. Now it's a small garden city next to the apartment blocks where people in Soviet times have built small garden houses out of garbage. Due to its poor condition the place rather resembles some illegal village of homeless people than garden city.
