TREES in the forest of Juodkrante awakens @ night

by Grazina

"The Hill of witches"

This is also on the Curonian Lagoon at Juodkrante.

"Grazina on a tee-dee-tod-der"

Very ingenious, not just shaping cutting, carving, and chiseling wood to make statues and figures...but movible art work.

"The Town of Juodkrante"

Along the shore of the Baltic near this town is small or large rocks that have holes in them....if you find one it's good luck.

"Grazina on a Tee-dee-tod-der."

"Grazina on a Tee-dee-tod-der."

Very interest art work in this forest of sculpture....here we see Grazina on a original work of art ingenious if you ask me. the picture a little blur only because we were going up and down that the camera was moving.

"I love this story that Grazina had told be."

Time and time again I heard just how BEAUTIFUL Lithuanian girls of the land are...and yes they are VERY beautiful...so lots of "love stories in their tales". Now the story of the groom and bride. For the bride it is very important that she stomps on the groom feet before she says "I do". Why? Because in an area like this your not for sure if the groom is a human-being or the DEVIL himself. So if you stomp on his foot and the poor lad scream out loud, then naturally the groom is human and if not the it's the devil with his cloven hoof in the boot.

Stories in the forest, the trees can tell you.

"A fisherman's wife searching for him still."

Here's a craving of a lonely fisherman's wife watching out for him hoping for his safety, and safe journey home. But in this case the fisherman's boat capsided and the fisherman never returned home. The wife even to this day (her spirit) still comes out with the lamp and continues to wait and search for her lost husband at sea.

"Children turned to trees"

"Still more to look at. Other side of this tree"
