2 things:
1. I liked this picture more than others
2. The empty space in forefront is the future building site of "Galleria Patollo"

Looking the same directiont that you did, but a different angle:

Entering the railway station Zemitani:

See how much i know Riga! Well OK I saw that in the upper left corner of your picture is the 5th tram depot and such amount of railway tracks and it`s placement can only be founde once in Riga. It`s the place where Riga-Carnikava-Saulkrasti-Rujiena railway "says" goodby to the Riga-Sigulda-Cesis-Valmiera-Valka-Tartu railway.
