Ingenious Kaunas pits
What to do if the road you drive on every day is full of holes and potholes, and the local authorities simply do nothing about it? All you need is a creative approach to get everyone interested in this problem. How to do it? See “Genius Potholes in Kaunas”, a photo project that was created to draw attention to the poor state of roads in Kaunas, Lithuania.
