Real Lithuania. Real photographs. Clear licences.
Lithuania Unscripted currently uses a location-specific licensed photography layer while original Vytas field photography is still being built. The Places atlas now has a real photograph for every curated stop. Every image below names its photographer, source and licence; desk-sourced photography never becomes a field-check claim.
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.
