Basketball is by far the most popular sport in Lithuania. They’re one of the strongest teams in Europe, winning international tournaments and several bronze medals at the Summer Olympics. Impressed by the Lithuanian love of basketball I started documenting the basketball poles. You can find them throughout every town. All poles are beautiful and some in better shape than the other.
