Riga-Part 2

This is the Riga Dome with the 4 largest pipe organ in Europe. I was so excited to see the organ and it was under restoration. I did get to go to a concert here. The concert was a mix of pipe organ, sax, and percussion. I thought it might be a little weird but it was amazing. The organ has over 6000 pipes ranging from 13 mm long to 10 m long (.51 inches long to 32.8 feet long). The organist also let out all the stops so I didn't just hear the music I felt it.

Ok, so I think this picture should be titled 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' or 'Cat Take a Crap.' This was on a lot of tourist stuff and I found it by accident. It is amazing what happens when you just walk around town seeing what you can see.
