Vilnius

A great travel and photography tip is manage your mindset, develop some strategies that work for pushing out negative feelings and see the positive as life will test you in many ways but the only thing you can really control is yourself. My shots of Vilnius were colored by the negative feelings we had before even entering the city, which started when caught in a speed trap that seemed to be subsiding a police retirement fund with cash speeding fines. This shot captures the Baroque Church of St. Catherine built between 1625 -1743 partially destroyed in WW2 then used under Soviets control as a fine arts warehouse and then lately as a symbol of freedom being first church to be restored after independence taking from 1994 to 2006.
