pictures of lithuania*

Jag, my friend from Sydney, just sent me some pictures from his recent business trip to Lithuania. I thought the pictures were awesome, especially the architectures. I've always enjoyed travel pictures, mine and others alike, especially if they are taken beautifully. Not those narcissistic ones followed by endless "Ooh, this is me taken in xxx and this is me having lunch in xxx and this is me blah blah blah" commentaries. Bleh. Thank goodness my friends are not like that.

Anyway, i digressed.

So, without much ado, and with Jag's grand approval, I hereby present to you the picturesque tour of Lithuania. Commentaries are by Jag. Enjoy!

is located, was used as defence in many wars.
