Early Spring 2018 in the Yard
Since early 2018 we have been relocated to Jūrmala resort town in Latvia. It was in early April 5th morning I decided to run my second 365 days photo challenge.

Kitesurfing Pāvilosta
Seems Pāvilosta is a popular spot for kitesurfing among surfers from the Baltics. It was on mid-June 2017 we decided to visit lovely white sand beaches near Pāvilosta piers when I noticed some kitesurfer gathering. Seems there was a good wind that day. As I was equipped with my gear and a telephoto glass - I made some photography here. A piece of Life, after all. Kitesurfing in Pāvilosta Actually, I'm not sure what is the name of this…

Lazy Day in The Beach (Dubulti - Majori)
it was one of the sunniest days in early April 2018, we opted in for a Dubulti - Majori (Jūrmala, Latvia) lazy hiking trip. The route is easy and distance is pretty short. As usual - I was equipped with a camera and captured some moments. The inspiration for this title I took from here: Lazy Day in Beach (Torremolinos, Spain) In fact, that is a thing I have been thinking a lot lately - Jūrmala could be developed in a style of Spain's Costa…
Next stop - Station Dubulti (B&W Photography)
Black and White (B&W) is not the part of my favorite photo techniques, but sometimes a good B&W can add some drama to a photo story. I don't call myself a drama expert (at least in photography), but I have tried in the past and sometimes love to experiment with this photo technique. See: Wandering In The Woods B&W Photography In today's Piece of Life series - a single photo from my second 365 days photo project's second day - Next…
