Don’t you hate the masses of tourists that clog all the sites and turn your nice peaceful vacation into a noisy game of human bumper cars?
Me too.
That’s why I would go out at night. When I did, I could find things like this:
London’s Big Ben shines at night.
No tourists and no traffic. Just me and the view and the muggers and the rapists and the murders who I luckily managed to avoid. That’s quite a contrast.

agreed. muggers and such do ruin a great evening:)
Yeah. Why can’t everyone always be 100% nice?
Winter is also a good time to be a tourist. During the December I spent in Germany I often found myself the only visitor in an entire museum. Kinda eerie, but also very relaxing.
December is also good for the Christmas markets…
They were crowded. But it was a terrific experience. Standing in the snow, bratwurst in a bun in one hand, scalding hut gluhwein in the other…I’ve never enjoyed being cold that much.
But you generally can’t get into any museum or most other landmarks. If you do try, people will think you’re mugger and a murderer.
I would have thought burglar…
Maybe, but it’s hard to tell in the dark.
The night can provide a magical time and less crowded. Agree about the safety issues though.
Yeah. Too bad it’s so hard to see danger when it’s dark…
Lovely photograph.
Thanks.
Ha, as you read in my post, I can go out pretty much any time of day in Riga and not meet anyone at all! They’re all somewhere else 😉
Maybe there’s an expat from Liechtenstein you need to worry about.
You never know…
I doubt it 😉
In darkness there is no sin
Light only brings the fear
Nothing to corrupt the eyes
There is no vision here
At first you may find it strange
But do not go away
The darkness holds a power
That you won’t find in the day
Very very nice 🙂
Why can’t everyone always be 100% nice? I totally vote for that concept !
I am so with you on this.
So can I borrow fifty dollars?
Sure you can… just not from me…
Beautiful night shot….you are a clever tourist !
Thanks. 🙂
