Photographer's Note
Yesterday I showed the Mickiewicz monument in Minsk, now the monument in Vilnius. In Lithuanian language they change the names in a way that is funny for me. very often they just add -as or us. Here some Lithuanian vocabulary:
Monitorius (computer monitor)
Faksas (fax)
Kompiuteris (computer)
Failas (electronic file)
Other common foreign words have also been adopted by the Lithuanian language. Some of these include:
Taksi (taxi)
Pica (pizza)
Alkoholis (alcohol)
Bankas (bank)
Pasas (passport, pass).
Behind the monument the most beautiful churches in Vilnius - St. Anne and St. Francis and St. Bernard.
St. Anna 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 a prominent landmark in the Old Town of Vilnius that enabled the district to be included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. And it is one of the most interesting examples of Gothic architecture in Lithuania.
These are last pictures I made with my 'bigger" camera in my trip :(. Then I had to use only my small camera and mobile. What a disaster.

Hello Malgo,
Lovely picture of the statue and the church behind. Good informative note too.
I recognize this architecture of my visits to Tallinn and Riga, but I didn’t visit Latvia up till now. But maybe in future I will.

Hello Malgo,
Your note learns us a little bit and other language.
Also your second picture is very nice.
Your head picture is wonderful with the nice architecture of buildings.
I like the nice details of the towers.
You did very well, additional the group people for the scale.
Composition and presentation are perfect, sharp and clear.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hello, Malgo!
The architecture and the strong colors of these buildings make the photo really attractive! The POV is excellent to show their beauty! And the people around it give more life to the scene! Wonderful job!

Ciao Malgo,
Quel bel endroit.Il y a plusieurs choses à voir dans ce cadrage parfait. La brique orange offre de très belles textures sous cette forte lumière. J'aime beaucoup la statue à l'avant plan.

Hello Malgo,
I took one of my personal favourite photos outside the St.Anna church, but not the one you show in the link ;-). But I agree that my WS shows the church better. I think it didn't even notice this monument on my visit. From this distance, where you could include the church and the small crowd of people, the statue has become a nice part of a good photo. The lovely weather also gave you superb colours. The good camera gave you perfect sharpness.
Kind regards,
Gert

Mickiewicz jest poeta trzech krajow, jeszcze Bialorus sie do niego przyznaje, a gotyk jest wspanialy, tyle detali w jednym budynku, swietna jakosc zdjecia Ryszard

Bonjour, chère Malgo,
Merci de nous faire voyager d'une aussi belle façon. Ne connaissant pas ce pays, je découvre avec plaisir ces lieux chargés d'histoire.
Une belle façon d'apprendre la géographie et l'Histoire du Pays.
Amitiés.

Hello Malgo,
What a great photo with a fantastic light that renders such fine and vivid colours. The churches look beautiful and I like their different styles of architecture. You put them perfectly in the composition along with the monument.

Ciao Malgo
hai avuto un ottimo tempo anche qui, c'è una bella luce che mette bene in mostra l'architettura di questo complesso.
Molto bello anche il cielo con le sue nuvole bianche, mentre le persone ci danno le giuste dimensioni della statua e della chiesa.
Buon we

Hello Malgo,
I do remember this church in Vilnius with its very remarkable facade and the red bricks and tiles contrasting strongly with the blue sky. But I cannot remember to have seen the monument on its left side while on your picture here it surely demands the attention of a number of visitors. Wasn't I attentive enough or have I forgotten about the monument ... ?
Anyway this is a very beautiful and bright architecture picture, well composed and with good sharpness.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Malgo,
I have spent several days in Vilnius but don't remember this church. The red flowers and people provide scale with the large statue at right. Good sharpness and a fanatastic warm cold color contrast with the blue sky. Tfs!

Hello Malgo
Interesting to see three churches so close to one another.
The styles are beautiful, as well as the colors.
One of your best pictures, in my opinion.

Hello Malgo,
This is truly a beautiful church. I like the architecture and the orange/red color of the bricks. It's a lively photo, with the visitors in the foreground, and a sunny sky. Very nice. :-)

Hello Malgo,
the point of view you have added in the workshop gives us a very different description and atmosphere. In your main post there's better light and great architectural interest behind the statue. I believe it's rare to see two impressive churches so close to each other, their styles are different and your picture gives us an excellent opportunity to study and know this place. The colours are beautiful. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania
