Photography provenance
Real Lithuania. Real photographs. Clear licences.
Lithuania Unscripted uses a curated, location-specific licensed photography layer while original Vytas field photography is still being built. Public pages use local files in /img/photos/; source, photographer and licence remain attached here for every image.
Editorial rule: a photograph proves what the place looks like, not that Vytas has re-checked the venue, price, access or conditions today. Those claims keep their separate provenance badges.
