I’m not from Baltic, (From Morocco) I am a research scientist, artist and blogger. So I’m looking for images and information for my friends and readers.
I guess that is a lot of work if you are not from Baltics.. never knew any of Lithuanian sculptures, thank you for sharing! Especially the three muses. Worth a visit for sure! /Latvian studying in Estonia/
Long search, during 6 days
Love this
Did you find them by chance? Or seek them out?
I also love sculptures
The flowers at Padegs’ feet. These are wonderful photos. I love Sculptures and what they add to the serenity of a place.
