Trakai Island Castle is located in Trakai, Lithuania on an island on the shores of Lake Galvė. The construction of the stone castle was begun in the 14th century. Trakai was one of the main centers of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the castle held great strategic importance. Trakai Castle is an excellent example of Gothic architecture. The staterooms of the palace are decorated with stained-glass and mural paintings, representing the scenes of the life of Grand Duke and his family. Some of these can be seen in other photos on my photostream.

These ornaments were handmade by Lithuanian schoolkids and given to me by a teacher when I visited her school in 2000. They're made of clay, so they're probably not going to last forever--this is their 17th Christmas with us, and I'm surprised they've survived this long--so I thought I should immortalize them on Flickr. Thanks, Lithuanian kids!

"The Hill of Crosses (Lithuanian: About this sound Kryžių kalnas (help·info)) is a site of pilgrimage about 12 km north of the city of Šiauliai, in northern Lithuania. The precise origin of the practice of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain, but it is believed that the first crosses were placed on the former Jurgaičiai or Domantai hill fort after the 1831 Uprising.[1] Over the centuries, not only crosses, but giant crucifixes, carvings of Lithuanian patriots, statues of the Virgin Mary and thousands of tiny effigies and rosaries have been brought here by Catholic pilgrims. The exact number of crosses is unknown, but estimates put it at about 55,000 in 1990[2] and 100,000 in 2006."
Klaipeda is Lithuania's third city, and it's only commercial port. It has a turbulent history, only becoming part of Lithuania in 1923. Previously the city was German and known as Memel. It was annexed by Hitler in March 1939, and was ruled by him until January 1945 when the city fell to the Red Army. It was the Soviet Union's only ice-free Baltic port, and was closed to Westerners until 1986.
