Day 36. In search for Vilnius Angels

Let's search today for Vilnius #Angels.

The most famous of all Vilnius Angels is Užupis Angel by sculptor Romas Vilciauskas located in not a bit less famous Užupis district.

Today Uzupis Angel can even talk and call you by phone! He is a star among Vilnius Angels!

You can find two angels on Basanaviciaus str.

Angels in front of Savickas Art Gallery (although I am not sure for 100% ...)

Angel in Verkiai Calvary sitting by the Cedronas Stream (in LT)

And we have several little white angels which are located in different place all around the city.

This little one (No 1) is sitting on T. Narbuto Street on a Police building

 just in front of Panorama

This one (no 2) is sitting on J. Tumo - Vaizganto str. 

on a building of guards of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of RL

This one (No 3)  is sitting on Algirdo str.

one building away from Vilnius Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Crafts

About Vilnius Angels project you can read here.

Little angels were created by scultptor Vaidas Ramoska.

to be continued ....

This rollerskater (No 4) is sitting on Gediminas ave./ Vilniaus str.

and has a good view on Vincas Kudirka Square

And this little Angel stands in the private courtyard of DORĖ Palada Jewelery

By the way, Vilnius Angels on FB informed that there are only 2 Girls Angels among all Vilnius Angels. This one below is an Angel Girl. (No 5)

One more (no 6) is sitting on the roof of A. Vienuolis progymnasium (Aušros Vartų str. 23)

 (found on July 17, 2016)

The 7th Vilnius Little Angel is well hiden.

You can find it only accidentaly if you decide to have a walk along the Ribiskes Cognitive Path (just LT).

One summer Sunday I've decided to have a lonely walk along the Ribiskes Cognitive Path. (I will tell about this path later in a separate post).

Ribiskes Cognitive Path is located totally in Ribiskes Landscape Reserve (in Pavilniai Regional Park (in LT).

Delfi was writing for several times about scandalous (and I guess unlawful) buildings in Ribiskes Landscape Reserve (in LT).

So a little Angel is sitting on one of these buildings (if I correctly defined it should be a villa (or actually a castle at Ribiskiu takas 57).

Conclusion: If you are rich, even angels sit on the roof of your castle.

JUST JOKING 

Recently discovered angel (no 8) is sitting a windowsill at Maluno str. 12

The park of the palace which belonged to the Sapiehas - teh oldest and one of teh most expressive regular geometric baroque parks in Lithuania.
The linden from May 29, 1996 is a botanic object of nature heritage protected by Vilnius City Municipality. There is the information board near the linden.
The linden was handled in 2014: the crown was formatted, dead branches and shoddy sprouts were removed.
