I come from Riga, Latvia. Since 2013 I live in Sendai, Miyagi prefecture, Japan.
I've been fascinated by nature since childhood. Since I came to Japan and invested in advanced photo and video equipment, I'm even more into nature studies. Lately I've been posting some of my photos in social media, but the majority of those were hidden in my personal archive. iNaturalist became that place where I can share my observations and attribute them correctly.
