Natural and human stories in the first book on Razna National Park
The Razna National Park Society prepared and issued a book dedicated to the 10-year anniversary of Razna National Park. The authors of the book are Anna Rancāne and Andris Eglītis.
The Razna National Park area is dedicated to both their natural values and cultural history objects, the fate of people living in the area and the wisdom of life, the experience of the development of traditional skills and the experience of natural-friendly farming. The author OF the book Anna Rancāne emphasizes the synergy of natural and human beings: “but what is the area, lakes, forests, mountains without people who have lived and formed the face of this place for hundreds of years, with folklore, traditions and skills, peculiar local names, who are inextricably twisted with natural and landscape wealth?” Therefore, this book, dedicated to the 10-year anniversary of Razna National Park, is closely together with natural and human stories. “Like a red yarn through her, Razna with her thousand uniformity.” Photographer Andris Eglītis has managed to capture moments in nature and human faces, reveal those seasons and emotions in the prize.
