I stood outside the Livonian museum "Pivālind" (which is the Livonian word for "stork", but literally means "holy bird") in the NW Latvian town of Staicele for 20 minutes trying to get a photo where both flags were blowing in the breeze at the same time, but had to settle for two individual pics instead.

The Livonians are an indigenous Finnic-speaking minority of Latvia that historically lived along the entire Gulf of Rīga and across a broad region of western, northern, and central Latvia, but in more modern times lived in about a dozen villages in NW Latvia and then in a small area around the Salaca River near Staicele and Salacgrīva on the east coast of the Gulf of Rīga. Today there still are speakers of Livonian, but the community was scattered as a result of the Soviet occupation of Latvia and the militarization of their historic homeland in NW Latvia.

The Staicele city flag has a stork on it and during these summer months the Baltics are home to quite a lot of storks and there were especially many in Staicele while I was there this week. The Livonian flag symbolizes the coast as seen by Livonian fishermen from the sea with green representing the coast pines that grow up to the sand, white -- the beach, and blue -- the sea.

(The photos are my own, but the other two flag graphics are from Latvian Wikipedia.)
