EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a hidden gem nestled within the enchanting Gauja National Park. Behold, the mysterious Ligatne Pension - an unsuspecting rehab hospital concealing a remarkable secret! Built during the Soviet era as a covert bunker for leadership in case of nuclear war, this extraordinary underground complex is nothing short of extraordinary. Camouflaged entrances and ventilation grilles seamlessly blend with nature's beauty, making it nearly impossible to detect this historical marvel. As we explore further, moss-covered manholes and towering trees whisper tales of its clandestine past. This snapshot captures not only the architectural brilliance but also showcases how history can be concealed beneath our feet. The vibrant green hues of Vidzeme Region's forest provide an awe-inspiring backdrop against which this relic stands tall. As we gaze upon this vertical masterpiece frozen in time by Walter Bibikow's lens, one cannot help but wonder about the stories held within those walls. What secrets lie behind those doors? How did people prepare for such uncertain times? So join us on a journey through Latvia's rich history; let your imagination run wild as you ponder what life might have been like inside that super-secret Soviet-era bunker. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, humanity finds ways to adapt and protect itself – all while being surrounded by breathtaking natural wonders!
