15/07/09 Kaunas, Lithuania. This is the Zaliakalnio Funicular, Car 1 sits in the top station with its sister car 2 distant in the bottom station. The line is quite short and bustles back and forth frequently more or less on demand, there is another funicular on the outskirts of the city but this was at least temporarily close upon this visit.
The Lithuanian fans are some of the loudest and active fans I've seen yet.

The Hill of Crosses (Kryžiu Kalnas) is a significant pilgrimage site located in northern Lithuania, near the city of Šiauliai. It’s one of the most unique and symbolic locations in the country, attracting visitors from around the world. The hill itself is a small mound, but it has become a massive site filled with an estimated over 200,000 crosses, which people have placed there over the centuries.
The origins of the Hill of Crosses are somewhat mysterious, but it's believed to date back to the early 19th century, with some sources suggesting it may have even started earlier. The first crosses were placed there by local people as a symbol of resistance and faith, particularly during the periods of foreign occupation. This includes Russian rule in the 19th and 20th centuries, when the Catholic faith was suppressed, and people would risk punishment to maintain their traditions.
Over time, the Hill of Crosses has become a place for personal and collective prayers, and it attracts pilgrims and tourists alike. Some visitors leave a cross in honor of loved ones, for blessings, or as part of a pilgrimage.
Monday, 29 July 2013, my first full day in Vilnius, Lithuania and it was a long one.
While walking along, I happened upon a group of hot air balloon enthusiasts. I think this is Kūdrų park where they were inflating the balloons. Interesting stuff for me, especially since I stumbled across this scene.
