Forest


This is not a particularly interesting picture, but it might give the viewer a sense of what highway driving is like in Latvia. There are a lot of forests, and many of them are secondary growth, miles and miles of uniformly tall, skinny pines with no branches below thirty feet or so. It's actually quite pretty and kind of mesmerizing to watch as you're speeding by, being passed in turn by insane people doing twice the speed limit in their tinted-window BMWs who are probably not appreciating the odd undergrowth-free forests at all.
