More about this trip in my daily diary album pages following. I was only going to be in Rīga a few days for our choir concert—my only other "artistic" objective was to get good pictures of the Freedom Monument to improve the article on Wikipedia.

Brīvības Piemineklis, Latvia's Freedom Monument

Our descriptions of the monument's themes, components, and symbolism are based on the 1935 booklet published by the original Freedom Monument Committee, authored by artist and art critic Jānis Siliņš. We've reproduced and translated it as part our CfBH library.
