Trees, Lithuania

















Photograph by Matas Juras, My Shot
This winter has been extremely beautiful in Lithuania. It was an early morning and minus 25 degrees Celsius outside. This landscape feels out of this world, but in fact it's in the outskirts of my home city, Kaunas—just a mile away from my house. Oftentimes beauty lies just a step away from our door. But we tend to ignore it. Too often we opt to chase beauty in distant exotic locations, missing all that's around us and ignoring the adverse effects of long-haul flights.

Lithuania - 立陶宛

oftentimes - 时常地
opt - 选择,决定
chase - 追逐,打猎
exotic - (植物等)外来的,异国情调的
adverse - 不利的,有害的,相反地
long-haul - 长距离
