Devils' (Zmuidzinavicius) Museum, Kaunas

In Kaunas, there's a great Devils' museum (could there be a bad one?), an impressive place to visit and check out hundreds and hundreds of devil figures in a wide range of styles and themes. One innocent painter's (Antanas Zmuidzinavicius) casual collection turned into a three-story museum. Be careful what you start hoarding.

One of the galleries, looking innocent enough. Time to get a closer look.

The devil isn't so bad. He dances like Astaire; he can bring you a drink.

Maybe he sits for a lovely portrait?



Ugh oh, the devil will tell you when you've had enough to drink. When? Never! Devil inside a devil's foot? Now we're getting creepy.

Time to get the devil under control, by tail and by horn.

More vices, how about smoking? Time to listen to the winged, accordion-playing devil.

Around Kaunas

Head right off the main streets of Kaunas and lots of hidden areas and alleys show themselves.

As usual, furs and graffiti.

Into the alleyways, a few places to tuck your car.

Delicate lamp nestled amongst brutal buildings.

Sun setting on a backyard basketball court.

Autos, hiding.

Getting the mail.

Out In The Suburbs Of Kaunas

Suburbia kind of looks similar wherever you go. Meandering streets, similar-sized houses and lots of lawns. But it can definitely feel different, especially with the temperature hovering at the zero mark. Welcome to the suburbs of Kaunas, Lithuania in January.

Yea, it's as cold as it looks.

What to do? Maybe paint your house as bright as possible to ward off the chill? Or build a greenhouse to extend the growing season?

It doesn't matter much, it's still as cold as the crow flies.

Make sure the wood's been gathered. Maybe you need to plug in a tire.

Not much color throughout the winter.
