Along the road in Ignalina district, Lithuania, lies an extraordinary sight: a shed adorned with an abundance of vehicle registration plates. More than 70 of these plates almost entirely cover the front side of the drab gray building, transforming it into a vibrant sight. Additionally, the remaining walls are decorated with wheel covers, creating an incredible composition in conjunction with the registration plates.
Plenty of wooden sculptures representing mystic characters, politicians, and other creatures can be found near a house in Stoniūnai, a village in northern Lithuania.

One sunny May morning I went to Mažonys (Lithuania), a village which is so small that even a bus driver didn’t know where exactly it is situated.
