A bad day today :( First, I was detained and interrogated by Lithuanian secret police for nearly an hour. Apparently because in today's search for the free-floating aquatic plant, Water Violet Hottonia palustris, I had by misfortune got too close to the perimeter of a huge power station. With a war raging in Europe that's not the best thing to do. The guys had the typical dead-pan look and attitude, and of course had well-worn guns slung by their side. Also they did not understand a word of English. I have spent better hours than this one, for sure :)

Later the same day, on another potential site for the Water Violet, I tripped and fell into a thicket of thorny brambles. Now my legs sting and bleed like hell.

No Water Violets were found here either, so my search returned nothing. I have had better days. Oh well.


Freedom is always on the other side.

Ouch and no room for joking.  Hope you retrieve your good luck ASAP.

Lovely Akira. A nice shape echo with the eyes and reflections too :)

Thank you, Colin.  I didn't notice the shape echo!

The Lithuanian city of Kaunas has a trolley bus service -- haven't seen these for years as the service was dissolved in my home city many decades ago. Apparently the vehicles are brand new and don't look worn down at all. The bus lines run all over the city and carry a lot of passengers.

Couldn't resist a few snapshots with the 20/2.8 Viltrox on my Z5.

May I ask whose image you are referring to?
