Three hippies pose while sitting on the ground along a fence in Riga, 1975. The group sits on the ground, in a row, and all look to camera. The camera views them with a worm's eye view. The man sitting at center sits with his feet placed wide on the ground in front of him and with knees bent. He appears to lean back and rest on the other two seated men. The man at left faces slightly left and rests his arm on his knee. The man at right faces slightly right and leans his body slightly forward. A chainlink fence runs directly behind them. Beyond the fence, the wooded lot occupies the background.
