Hey Gentle reader, tonight I offer you a glimpse of one of the beautiful streets there is in my adopted home Riga.

Alberta iela or Albert Street, which is named after Bishop Albert, who was Riga's 3rd Bishop.

The street is renowned around the world because of its Art Nouveau buildings, many of which were designed by Mikhael Eisenstein.
