Seaside people / day

The pages of the Fisherman’s past are tightly intertwined with the sea, and while fishing is no longer a rare source of livelihood, its presence is still felt. The harsh but beautiful environment formed strong but spongy people. With your sense of life, cramps and traditions. I wonder where else in Latvia went to the weddings, that is, it was a common thing – if there was no invitation at the wedding, go to see the windows of the wedding house there. No one had objections, and the house had even been removed by partitions and curtains so that nothing was hidden in the eyes of others. Even the meal was presented to the spectators through the windows. It was only when the wedding began to celebrate in cultural houses is slowly exhausting this tradition, and now, of course, it is a history, just like much of the one that used to form the lives of the people of that side. Many still remember fish that were not valued with nostalgia. For some delicious freshly smoked lucts, which could be bought right from fishermen’s wives for laughter…

Nowadays, everything has changed, with distances others, because the availability of transport is no longer forced to spend lunches on the way to get to the capital or in the center of the county – now they are almost hand -to -hand with all the opportunities provided. Most of these villages are not on the ground, but elsewhere, so they often do not feel such a close connection with their place of residence, especially if there is a newcomer, not hereditary. And for a while, the difference is not even realized – whether someone lives there or elsewhere, the environment has lost its peculiarity and only the smell and the rhythm of life.

A new ruin
