Riga Canal

We thought about taking a cruise in one of these boats, but they seemed to be calling it a day at that hour.

We had been walking along the canal, and suddenly a boat came into view on very still water, like with the most incredible reflection and light. I went to take a picture, but my husband didn't realize it and managed to get in my way. I lost the shot, and even though I ran after the boat, the water was never that perfect anywhere else. That's how we ended up here with my consolation shot ;-).

This looks beautiful. You'd think your husband would be trained to not walk in your way by now - LOL :-)
