At first, do you know where is Latvia? It's in Europe, near Baltic sea.Latvia is a little country, but with difficult history.


Throughout east Europe and the former Soviet Union, the abandonments also include all forms of housing, a testament to the swift migration of people after the collapse of communism. Latvia has been through industrialization, Soviet Union and denationalization.
There are several explorer groups in Latvia that were founded few years ago. The most known are Urban Trip, Grauzti, Bradajumi and Diggers. Above mentioned groups has wide range of interests and their own website on Internet.

Check out these Latvian UE web-sites!
http://www.urbantrip.lv
http://www.grauzti.lv
http://www.bradajumi.lv
http://www.diggers.lv

Some Latvian artists really think that UE is great artistic way of expression.

WHAT TO SEE:

Nice videos...I especially like the 2nd one. That factory, whatever it is, looks like an amazing place to explore!

Damn...I just finished watching the last one too...is that like an abandoned city? Kinda reminded me of Pripyat in the Ukraine.

By the way, what is that piano music in the intro to the last video? I really like it!

Good stuff all the way around; thanks for sharing!

Thanks,Imbroglio ^______^

The second video is from Sloka former cellulose and paper factory. By the way, that was one of biggest factories in former Soviet Union.
The last one is from Kemeri. Kemeri is a small part of recreation area (Jurmala).There are many abandoned buildings in Kemeri, but the place is populated.
The song is : UNKLE featuring Thom Yorke - Rabbit in your headlights. Enjoy


Last pictures from my last UE location : Former Kinder railroad. Unique place - rails are gone (since 90's) but it's still like railroad..

/edit
I had a problem to add pics, so I changed web address to add pics. Added pics looks smart, can anybody recommend better web address where to add pics?










RIGA CHILDREN RAILROAD..




I found former eating-hose too

second that.

I now a few people who worked in your neck of the woods a few years ago, and they've told me about the millions of abandoned buildings.

PLUS feral children.. thats awesome!

40+ year olds with Myspace pages are not cool, they are pediphiles on the prowl. Buyer beware.

Nice Videos! I think we have the same taste in music . Resident Magnoodles will like these I think. I've heard about all the abandoned military installations in Latvia left behind by the Russians. Because of where it is situated, I bet there is tons of stuff everywhere!

Flickr is the place i'd recommend. Its also a great place to meet others. Its very international. I just hate other sites like imageshack and photobucket, but they are all free.
