Riga Canal at the Central Market

Tweet

One of the picturesque spots to take a photo of the Riga Canal was at the Central Market. Here is the view looking down the canal. On the left are three hangars from the market. In these hangars, all sorts of foods and merchandise were sold. There were more hangars that made up the market selling meat, vegetables, and fish. Beyond the hangars was a huge open space where vendors sold goods of all kinds in the open air. Even though the age of supermarkets had arrived there was nothing like shopping at the Central Market that in itself was an adventure. I particularly enjoyed looking down at the canal when many ducks gathered to swim mostly throughout the summertime. Are there any large markets like this where you live?
