Eurolines Setra in Lithuania in October 2012. Ex Imken, Wiefelstede Germany. First picture of my series from my holidays.
This small wooden path leads to some beach huts and winds down and (here) up the dunes near Nida on the Neringa peninsula. Closest bigger city is Klaipeda with an important lithuanian harbour on the baltic sea and a little to the north is Palanga where you'll find an airport.

The Ninth Fort was built at the end of 19th century as part of the outer town defences of Kaunas on the orders of Tsar Alexander II to strengthen the western border of the Russian Empire. It became infamous as a concentration camp during the Nazi occupation.
In 1998 my wife and I made a round-the-world holiday. I didn't want to do the usual stops through southern Europe, so we concentrated mostly on Northern and Eastern Europe.
My contact and friend, Rasa, in Lithuania had sent me a post card of the Hill of Crosses a few years prior to this trip and I knew at that moment I would have to make the trek there.
When we got there it was very cold and rianing. The crosses were clanking in the wind and there was definately a strong spiritual presence in this holy place. I took around 70 snaps, of which this is one of them.
I cannot begin to describe how wonderful a place this is. There were milllions of crosses from 2 cm high to two stories high. The craftsmanship in the carved crosses blew my away... one must make the trip there to even begin to get a feel of whatI am talking about. My photos and the weather that day do not do the place and experience justice.

Trakai Island Castle is a picturesque castle located on an island in Lake Galvė, Lithuania.
The castle was built in the 14th century by the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Gediminas. It was originally a wooden structure, but it was later rebuilt in stone. The castle was used as a royal residence for many years, and it was also a center of Lithuanian culture and learning.
The castle was damaged during World War II, but it has since been restored. Today, it is a museum that houses a collection of artifacts from the Middle Ages.
Location: Schipkau, Germany (A13) - 777km from home.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything too interesting on the Autobahn to Dresden/Prague. Therefore I "had" to spot this Lithuanian trailer. Samarina is a Lithuanin logistics comapny.
Vilnius
Bizarre, beautiful and bewitching, Lithuania's capital seduces visitors with its astonishing Old Town charm. Its chocolate-box baroque skyline littered with the spires of Orthodox and Catholic churches are intoxicating, decadent and fragile - so much so that Unesco has declared this, Europe's largest baroque old town, a World Heritage site. But there's more to this devilishly attractive capital than meets the eye. There is an underlying oddness that creates its soul.
Where else could there be the world's only statue of psychedelic musician and composer Frank Zappa? Or a self-proclaimed, unofficial, independent republic inhabited by artists and dreaming bohemians? Where else is there the spirit of freedom and resistance that existed during Soviet occupation? There are reminders of loss and pain everywhere, from the horror of the KGB's torture cells to the ghetto in the centre of all this beauty where the Jewish community lived before their mass wartime slaughter.
Strange bars glow inside dark courtyards and medieval archways frame the life of the narrow, cobbled streets through which change has swept with panache. Using foreign cash and local vision, this stylish little city has big plans. But new business and infrastructure - even a skyscraper skyline - won't disguise the curious charm of eccentric, soulful Vilnius.
