Two hippies walk along a street in Riga, Latvia, 1980. The duo walks side-by-side towards camera but both look slightly towards the left. The man at left wears patched denim jeans, a denim jacket, a scarf and carries bag by his side. The other man wears dark clothing. The sidewalk they walk along appears freshley paved in a running pattern and appears unfinished along the right side. A noticiable gap runs between the sidewalk and a tree-lined median. Stacks of cut stone sit along the base of the building that rises at left.
