Today I decided to go through some places and take a bunch of pics. Actually I go and photograph very often, but it mainly goes for construction updates in Lithuanian forum
So here it goes.
View to the city center from the Seskine hills
NCC through the pines of Seskine
Another rather unseen view. You can see the Vilniug Gate site at the distance.
Industry quarter of Zverynas. Don't miss Business triangle and Helios at the hiorizon
Closer view
Another angle, on a different hill
Destruction of a milk factory. There will be a shopping center and 2 15-floorers residentials
The same site downhill
Vilnius gate again
Gediminas' avenue on the way to Gediminas hill
The rulers of palace to be opened in 2009
I'm sure you remember the old swimming pool that was demolished. So here's the place and they are already building the residential
Great pics. River and hills make Vilnius even more nicer and great to see that construction is going on there, because to get rid of that Soviet feeling.
Wow, I hadn't realized how Helios is going to become such a landmark, which can be practically seen form everywhere. Thanks for showing all these unseen places.
Views from Seskine hills are well known to me - almost each time I enter (three times last year) Vilnius, I take this road (Ukmerge street) down the hill, Acropolis to the left.
Once I entered from Minsk - Vilnius road as well. It was a nice journey from Minsk in sunny October afternoon and crossing the EU border then.
I just use geographic position of Riga - in fact, it`s the same distance from Riga to Tallinn in the North, Vilnius in the South, Latgale in the East and Klaipeda-Baltic coast in the West.
It`s most easy to reach each corner in the Baltic States from Riga (so far I didn`t manage to visit Estonian islands). And it`s most fast to reach Vilnius - just three hours from Riga.
