“City of the sun” under quarantine

 Siauliai-the city where I started my volunteering. It's a gateway to the Hill of Crosses, just northeast. A place of pilgrimage, the site was established in the 19th century as a symbol of resistance to Russian rule.Rich cultural life.The unique cultural vision of the city not created only by artists but also citizens of Siauliai themself. 
 The oldest pedestrian boulvard in Europe full with tourists all over the world...year 2020, month March all streets empty, no one around, shops and malls closed.What happend?! Are we under pressure,is something or someone controlling us? Guess what? YES! Not only our city but all over the world „COVID-19“ aka Corona virus.It makes us to stay home,not to meet our friends and beloved ones.I did a photo story how the city looks like now.
