It takes some effort to get my ass from the computer. My work is at the computer, most of my social life is too. I need some goal or motivation to get up and have a go. Back in a day it was Pokemon GO. It really made you to explore and see places. Since i have joined steemit i saw this challenge by @timsaid #mypictureday. So i thought it is a good excuse to get out and tell you more about the place i live.
I live in Vilnius, Lithuania and today i wanted to show you a nice park and a secret place in it. The park is call Vingis Park or Curve Park a straightforward translation is made as it has many curved paths in there.
You can engage in different activities, like having a lunch, lying on the grass or renting a bike, longboard or anything else that has wheels on it to move around.
This is the main square where different public events and concerts take place in the summer.
And i have just learned that Robbie Williams is coming on August the 16th.
This is a different perspective from inside the dome. You definitely want to enlarge this one.
But enough of tourist attractions. It is time to take suspension lock off and go offtrack for a bit to show you that secret place i have mentioned before and tell you about that strange coincidence i had today which was led by strange chain of events that each time make me to believe in Determinism which leads into discussion about living in a simulation, but lets skip this for now.
This is my bike, which i bough used, had a custom black paint job done and yes i slap my startup logo on everything i get my hands on :)
It took my a while to find this place, though i have been here a few times already. It is an open air gym deep in the park, that mostly only locals know about. It is very cool to work out a bit there but those damn Mosquitoes. @ewkaw should now too well what i am talking about lol
All weights are made from big wood trunks and are not actually that heavy when it's dry, but if you came to work out after a few days of raining you might be surprised.
So... the mysterious part now. When i came to the spot, there was a single guy there who was having his workout. I started snapping images which got us into conversation, and i told him about the challenge on steemit which was the reason i was here in the middle of nowhere basically.
I am working with the blockchain. - He said.
I was staring at him for a while... I mean, there are just a few people in Lithuania that work with the blockchain literally. And now i am standing deep in the forest, where i have arrived to take images for a blockhain based community and i have been inquiring if someone knew a guy who is working with this technology for over a few weeks now with no success.
I am doing this because i want my startup BeScouted to reward talent in a similar manner that steemit does.
There is an event tonight happening - I dropped the dumbbell on my leg.....
Good thing it was not raining for the last few days, so it dried out. I am attending the same event tonight and i have met this guy in the forest i have been looking for weeks while taking pictures for this challenge. Seriously? What are the odds, i am having goosebumps this very moment i am typing these words...
Well.. i will let you know how this develops. But after that and a good workout you need a drink. I have enjoyed a glass of a drink that is made from dried bread and raisins that i do knot know an English name for. It is a bit similar to beer or ginger ale but it is home brew.
I was walking and sipping it little by little when i saw those mushrooms and instantly remembered @freeinthought and his post about eating Amanita Muscaria I snapped a few photos thinkig he might tell what type of mushrooms are these as i know a place where they thrive.
And finally i was back in civilization. After i finish this post i am taking a shower and going to that blockchain meetup event where i am meeting that mysterious dude i ran into in the woods.
If you are curios how the story develops follow me @bescouted.
Also all liquid steem from this post will go for a purchase of Yasuhara Nanoha Macro Lens 5:1 for my camera that has very specific use but produces outstanding results that i have not seen on steemit yet. I can not validate that purchase with my current income, so if you support my pledge i will be sharing very interesting super macro images as this one.

I will make a progress bar for the amount of $499 pledged so you can keep track when i will start uploading those super macros on steemit.
I hope you have enjoyed this long post, let me know if you like them shorter.
Have a great day, i have to run to that meeting.
