Photo of the Week: A Hill Filled with Crosses

Posted on November 2, 2012

Hill of Crosses, Šiauliai, Lithuania

Just outside Šiauliai, the wind moves between a thousand crosses made from wood and metal, plastic and string. The air is never quiet here.

    Holy OMG! Wow. I’ve never seen anything like it. I find it both frightening and incredible at the same time.
