In 2023, I was luckily able to secure unrestricted access to about 1 hectare of land about 9 kms from where I live, alongside the Nemunas river, the largest in Lithuania

​

This land is actually only a short field and forest track's drive from a well maintained road but is actually inside one of the extreme loops of the river at this point in its cascade to the sea, loops which give the local regional park its name.

​

Not all photos are taken here, with others coming from various trips to other parts of Lithuania and not a few from my local walks along another part of the Nemunas which flows within a couple of hundred meters of my flat and which I walk along early every morning.  Quite a few are from other parts of Europe!
