Vilnius - view from Gediminas Tower.
Lithuanian Duke Gediminas was said to have had a dream which led to the founding of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania; in this dream, an iron wolf howled all night near the site of the present-day Gediminas Tower. A seer interpreted this as meaning that a great city should be built there. |

Hello Vikte,
Good photo, nice Autumn colours on the trees,
How the city of Vilnius skyline has changed,
New skyscrapers.
Good composition.
Regards
Rob.
