[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I felt this woudn't be too good a photo for the Trek Earth so let it be where's the place for experiments.

The object with the hole here is a part of concrete fence 2 meters high. It had barbed wire only few years ago, but looks like protectors of children rights didn't like that. Because this is a territory for naughty boys who have no home and commit villainies.

We stayed there for two days during a hike I wrote about in this photo. All the kids were gone somewhere for summer so we had an opportunity to see how do they live. Well, even though it is a former mansion, designed by the same architect, who created really great cathedral in our capital, the living conditions aren't good. Roofless toilets outside, breezeless ones inside. Moulded walls and so on and on.

Not a very pretty text although, a very nice creative and even artistic picture you've made from this fence, Paulius !

I realy like it that you have used flash here but still managed to keep this nice dark blue of sky in behind. A telling story of light and dark, and unforgiving concrete. Interesting to see how things are when people are not around. Good work. Nice to see your Baltic Neighbours here on the front page of T.L. Welcome my friend.

There is drama behind this picture. And your photo explain it well. Congratulations. I like that very much. Keep on working for Liberty, using nice pictures like you did this one.
