You’re heading into a web story comprising more than
1350 images from most parts of Lithuania. The larger cities are represented, along with little cosy places |
in the countryside, the resorts along the coast, as
well as the culture and everyday life. Most images are taken with the digital camera Nikon Coolpix 950, and a lot
of them |
with the Sony F-828, but some of the early ones are
made with Canon AE-1 and then scanned from negatives. The
index has links to satellite imagery
of most objects. |
