Hi Jim,
What an intriguing scene! I think it would make a perfect selection for the "Where in the World?" feature in the monthly PhotoFlash newsletter (due to be published on Oct. 7th - the first day of school).

It always surprises me when BP members know the most obscure and unusual places. Yes, it's the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania.

James -- no one knows the origin of this place, but it is thought to have started in 1831 after some kind of uprising.
