Last Saturday despite drizzling rainwe decided to take a little trip to Kolka creek visiting small fishermen’s villages by the way. Though in those villages we found nothing worth of attention. Though we stopped in Engure, small costal town with tiny sea port. At the port I made some nice pictures.

Our next stop was Lake Engure nature park. It is unique European wetland and one of the most important nature protection sites in Latvia. It’s a home of birds of different species. As well there are deployed wild cows and horses to maintain biotope (or, simply speaking – to eat all the grass at coast to keep the lake from overgrow).

Well, because of continuous rain we got drenched and decided to return to Riga and go to Kolka another time. And it was late afternoon already, too. Still despite the rain our trip was very nice. And I know that I will return here soon – in some sunny autumn day.
