LITHUANIA
Lithuania is a special country for me. It`s my motherland! It has so many nice places, and I show you the best places! So look and feel my country.
Fragments of the old pier of Šventoji. It is the pier in the Baltic sea. This pier was renovated in 1923 – 1925. This pier looked very nice, but now he is tumble down.
St. Anne’s Church . Church is a Roman Catholic church in Vilnius‘ Old Town, on the right bank of the Vilnia River. It is a prominent example of both Flamboyant Gothic and Brick Gothic styles. St. Anne’s is among the features of Vilnius Old Town that enabled the district to be included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Beautiful woods grew there a few hundred years ago. They were cut down or burned down during the fires.Deserts appeared in this place. Strong winds carried sand and covered up even fourteen villages. The dunes there are called “the dead dunes”.
Sandy hills stand in this place now. People planted pines around the sandy hills so that winds couldn’t destroy the dunes.
Kuršiu Nerija is a national park. These dunes stretch for even 9 kilometres
The Baltic Sea is a brackish inland sea located in Northern Europe. It is bounded by the Scandinavian Peninsula, the mainland of Europe, and the Danish islands. The Baltic Sea is heart of the leisure and chill-out. Gold of the Baltic Sea is amber.
The first church in Svėdasai was built at the begining of the XVI century. Now it is always renovates. The built St. archangel Mykolas’ church is of the traditional plan and facade, only one tower is of the bizanthic form, which is alien to Lithuania. I love this church,because she is in my village. I spend my holiday there. This village have a good aura.
The forest of Šimoniai. In this forest are a lot of lakes, snares of the river Šventoji, „Monkey“ bridge and etc. This forest is between Svėdasai and Šimonys . Šimonių forest resound our flora and fauna . This forest is in my village Svėdasai too.
Aleksotas is an elderate in the southern section of the city of Kaunas, Lithuania, bordering the left bank of the Neman River .It looks wonderful nightly. In this photograph you can see all nightly

Trakai Island Castle is located in Trakai, Lithuania on an island on the shores of Lake Galvė. The castle is sometimes referred to as “Little Marienburg“. After World War II, a major reconstruction project was begun in 1946; active work started in 1951-1952. The major portion of the reconstruction was finished in 1961. The castle was reconstructed in a 15th century style.
The city where I live is Marijampolė.
Marijampolė is an industrial town and the capital of the Marijampolė County in the south of Lithuania .The Šešupė river divides the city into two parts which are connected by six bridges. The nicest object in Marijampolė is Šv. Arkangelo Mykolo church, railway station , a lot of parks and etc.
So you saw all my favorite places, where I spend my days. I love my country. It is very small, but a snug little country.
