Vilnius to Svetoji
Presented here are images from the first few days of what was a 50 day journey; Vilnius to Oslo. These represent a quick 1st edit select from the first few prep days spent in Vilnius and the 1st day of cycling from Klaipeda to Svetoji. Images of place and of Mr Samuel and his team.
I have purposely put these here to allow you to get a sense of my picture style and content. This is nothing more than a preliminary presentation.

Timberland
Our Baltic and Scandic journey was experienced in the company of trees. Forests were our constant companions through Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and Norway. They were, in many ways, our guide—not the forests themselves, but the roads and pathways through them. Forests have sustained travelers for eons, providing plants, shrubs, animals, and birds. They symbolize home, offering firewood for warmth, cooking, and building materials.
In this northern expanse, homes are crafted from wood, a testament to the Baltic and Scandinavian people's mastery of woodcraft. The allure of wood as a building material echoes in its natural warmth, versatility, and sustainability. Rooted in historical abundance and cultural appreciation, wooden homes signify a continuity of heritage and values deeply embedded in the relationship between people and surroundings. Welcome to Timberland, where every photograph is a story written in wood.
