This appeared to be sort of an apartment building for ambassadors, among them the Chinese envoy.

Riga is a very "power-line rich" city, and they always seemed to get in the way of the buildings I wanted to photograph! While there I told my husband that I was just going to leave them in my images, but when I started processing this gallery a month ago, I found myself trying to remove them. I've come to the conclusion that some are just going to have to stay; I'd rather have the wires than the fine detail in the building getting destroyed by content aware fill!
