A quiet part of Ventspils, which began to form after the invitation expressed by the Russian government in 1836 and the announced advantages for the surrounding farmers to settle down in the dune belt, in order to prevent the city from becoming dusty with sand.

Nowadays, it is a unique, romantic environment with cobbled quiet streets, attractive 19th century. wooden construction and essential pelargoniums in the windows. Ostgal has been recognized as a monument of urban construction of national importance. In 2009, after a large-scale reconstruction, the city's Theater House "Jūras vārti" provides a buzz in Ostgal.

Regno Unito, Londra, Royal Victoria Docks, Estate 2023
London Docklands è una zona a est e sud-est di Londra. Questi moli erano parte del porto di Londra, un tempo il più grande porto del mondo. Essi sono stati utilizzati fin dall'epoca romana. Una volta, i lavoratori portuali formavano comunità locali molto affiatate e con proprie culture distintive e dialetti. Per la scarsa comunicazione questi erano sostanzialmente isolati dalle altre aree che formano Londra. La London Docklands è stata bombardata durante la seconda guerra mondiale, e fu colpita da oltre 2.500 bombe. Tra il 1960 e il 1980 a causa della containerizzazione, tutti docks di Londra sono stati chiusi, lasciando circa otto miglia quadrate di terreni abbandonati in East London. Negli ultimi anni si è assistito ad una rivalorizzazione di questo territorio per uso commerciale e residenziale.
London Docklands is an area in east and southeast London. The docks were formerly part of the Port of London, at one time the world's largest port. They were used since the Roman era. Once, the dock workers formed a number of tight-knit local communities with their own distinctive cultures and slang. Poor communications meant that they were quite remote from other parts of London and so tended to develop in some isolation. The London Docklands was bombed during the Second World War, and was hit by over 2,500 bombs. Between 1960 and 1980 because of the containerization, all of London's docks were closed, leaving around eight square miles of derelict land in East London. They have now been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use.

The day I made this photo the lavender was abuzz with bees visiting for nectar. They were also doing the important work of pollinating the flowers. I'm feeling grateful.
