IX fortas.jpeg

Picture of "The IX fort" in Kaunas, Lithuania. Shot in the middle of the day and this is single handheld shot. The IX fort is a part of the Kaunas Fortress, which was constructed in the late 19th century. During the occupation of Kaunas and the rest of Lithuania by the Soviet Union, the fort was used as a prison and way-station for prisoners being transported to labour camps. After the occupation of Lithuania by Nazi Germany, the fort was used as a place of execution for Jews, captured Soviets, and others (information provided according to Wikipedia, where You can find much more info about this place).
Enjoy the picture and don`t forget to enlarge :)

This is a nice low angle shot! And what an awesome site - could be perfect for a movie!

What a mysterious shot! Great job.

Thank You Tomas!
