Here is my ALL TIME favorite. It is beyond beautiful and emotional...AND--simple!
A grieving Latvian maiden--dressed in her national dress, head bowed in sorrow. The long braids.....so typical--and still a tradition among all the Folk Dancers. Look for it when I post the Parade pictures.

This monument is for someone named Zigfrids Meierovics . I remember the name from my earlier years but am not sure if he was a famous Author? or Composer?
But--I love the dignity and reverence of this Monument. It is as if she just stopped by to pay her respects.....
