This peculiar spectacle was by the side of an old distillery in Pärnumaa.
Just next to hotel Lepanina. Very close to our lodging.
The first stop was at the Hill of Crosses near the city of Šiauliai. Over 50 000 crosses on a little hill - this really is an awe-inspiring place.
The first morning in a campsite in Karkle (about 15 km to the south of Palanga)
In Palanga we visited the Palanga Amber Museum. Never in my life had I seen so much amber in various shapes and sizes, some containing a piece of history inside.
These are sand ripples on one of the many dunes in the Curonian Spit near the town Nida. Yonder is the Curonian Lagoon.
It was a truly sultry weather.
You don't see an elegant shay as this every day. I'd definitely prefer this over any limousine!
The Hill of Witches near Juodkrantė is a great sight to see, because of the numerous wooden sculptures. As there are over 80 sculptures - it'll take some time to see them all, so reserve about 2-3h of your time.
These pictures were taken in the Lithuanian Sea Museum which is located in the farthest northern point of the Curonian Spit – Kopgalys. Very educational but interesting at the same time - children would love it.
Really breathtaking show by trained dolphines and seals at the Dolphinarium just next to the Sea Museum. This you just have to see :)
A little HDRI shot from hand in Trakai. Besides the famous Trakai Castle this little town has its own pecularity: most of the old houses have three windows on the side of the house which faces the street.
The Trakai Castle is located on an island on the shores of Lake Galvė. A splendid view to the surrounding lake and islands opens from the towers.
The St. Anne's Church is a real architectural masterpiece. The high dynamic range makes this photo especially appealing to me. Though it could use a little crop and straightening.
The last stop was at the geographical centre of Europe, which much to my surprise, is located in Lithuania. Actually the monument itself does not mark the centre, but there is a big rock nearby that is located at 54°54′N, 25°19′E which should be the centre of gravity of the geometrical figure of Europe.
The true highlight of the trip - an Audi R8. This is definitely a synonym for the word 'beautiful'. 
One of the sights of Palanga - the pier.
The great view below the pier.
You have to give credit to Photomatix for this HDRI. Why? Because you cannot notice any big ghosting artifacts although the shots where all taken from hand. Photoshop CS3 could not handle the movement in the source images as elegantly as Photomatix did.
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
A little cute Yorkshire Terrier gazing.

This is an HDR image from a single RAW image file. I really like the outcome.
The key to this picture is a long exposure time.
Here I have made a HDRI from 4 JPEGs.
Again a HDRI but this time from 3 JPEGs.
This photo is unmodified.
Here I have made a bit of exposure blending and then reduced color saturation.
A little HDR modification.
This photo has not seen a bit of editing. It's a pure camera trick called "zoom blur", but of course you could do it with a little digital editing too. It is done by zooming out while photographing with a long exposure time. Simple, but effective, isn't it?
