This is a prominent landmark in Riga, Latvia. Located on the Bay of Riga at the mouth of the Daugava River, this lighthouse was constructed in 1956 and stands 35 meters tall. It serves as a crucial navigational aid for ships entering and leaving the port of Riga, reflecting the area's rich maritime history. It is the one I have seen because we lived in the capital, Riga. The lighthouse is accessible to the public, allowing visitors to explore the surrounding area, which includes scenic trails ideal for birdwatching.

@DianneN it is in a place where you could walk along the Daugava River. When you are ready to travel I hope there is still a world to settle.

@RasmaSandra I have been ready to travel for years, but terrorism, the pandemic, and now this stuff, I will rather be home and gardening.

I love the light showing on the lighthouse. These sorts of pictures make great jigsaws.

That's a fine looking lighthouse Sandra
It's quite tall
Does it have a light house keeper now or is it fully automated?

I find walking or sitting near a river very peaceful. It looks an ideal place for me.
