Mosėdis, Lithuania: Rocks and Flowers

vic — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:52:23 +0000

I mentioned before that Mosėdis, Lithuania is known for its rocks and beautiful landscaping. Everywhere you look, there rocks arranged various gardens and public spaces. Not really many sculptures or anything like that, but just big, heavy, interestingly-shaped rocks all over the place. Works very well with all the flowers and other natural landscaping.

I really enjoyed being there. I'd love to go back and walk or bike around while exploring the town.

Mosėdis, Lithuania has the nicest sidewalks

Jen and Saulius on a sidewalk in Mosėdis, Lithuania. This is probably the nicest sidewalk I've ever walked down, and the photo doesn't really show it off as well as I would like. It's actually at a lower grade than the road, and separated by huge rocks (some covered in moss) and all kinds of trees and flowers. Sort of like walking down a fairy-tale forest pathway.

I could just imagine having something as nice as this in our own 'hood.

Yellow house in Mosėdis, Lithuania. Another one to add to my yellow house obsession.

Mosėdis, Lithuania: Red Bike

I had never heard of the town of Mosėdis in northern Lithuania until the day that Eglė and Saulius took us there. It was a total surprise, off the beaten path, and absolutely gorgeous there. I'm so glad we had such excellent relatives / tour guides!

Mosėdis is basically a small town that is known for its rock collection, rock museum, rocks on display all over town, and umm...rocks rocks everywhere! More on that later.

This photo, however, doesn't really focus on rocks. As we walked past this building, a veterinary pharmacy, I spotted a bunch of bikes parked up against it. So of course I stopped to snap a few photos. Here's the red bike.
