Sajūtu Nakts on Sajūtu Parks

This saturday there was a very special event in Valmiera´s main park, Sajūtu Parks. As the summer is coming and the warm weather is already here (really is! looks hell on summer, grrr!) the latvians go outside and take advantage the most possible to make things on open air (it´s true, it´s true); and if it is surrounded by the nature better than nothing (true too). So the last evening there was a chain of shows like concerts on the trees, barbecues, wine tasting, bonfires, theatre, pancakes and finally some beautiful fireworks in the riverside. This was Sajūtu Nakts, ladies and gentlemen! a pretty good event in the middle of the forest, full of candles (this in Spain would be insane, spanish forest are very prone to burn easily...specially when is warm season) and full of people (much to my dismay).

Let´s take a fancy look around:

Setting in the side of Gauja River, Valmiera´s main body of water.

The mirror wall, surrounded by bird cages.

The bonfires, preparing a curious drink made of red berries and peppermint.

Some decorations around, mainly about animal theme.

In the park there are several attraction such the one in the picture, but for this night there were several more, which you ought to pass them walking barefoot, for protecting it.

Music on the trees. Funny to see the musicians coming back to ground by zip.

And then the night arrives...

...and the installations become more shining and nicer. This is another attraction from these ones you could cross barefoot and scattered randomly in the park.

And when the night falls my camera´s battery dies as well so these are mobile´s photos (my bad).

 We have here some theatre made by the local drama school. The story portraited was "The Wizard of Oz"...maybe some local story such Lačplēsis would have been interesting to see. How about it?

 Flaming barbecues at night! as it was getting colder and colder it was a relief to stay next to the bonfire while holding you berry juice...or wine.

 The mirror´s area becomes more interesting at night as well.

 The forest at night, the show as well.

 And finally, as closing event, the fireworks! In fact, it was the best part! although short it was worth of it. Well, the event was worth of it. Such a lovely night in the forest, indeed.
