Have your ever thought how much time do you spend in the traffic every day? Let’s say, you spend approx. 40 minutes in the traffic jam every day, 5 days a week. In total you waste around 3 hours and 20 minutes or around 13 hours a month. Or almost a full week just sitting in your car each year. Time goes slowly in the traffic bust scarily fast when you are in a rush.
I spent countless hours, minutes and kilometers driving around my hometown Vilnius (Lithuania) and looking for the people who are stuck in the traffic for different reasons. Some people did it on purpose, some were forced to stop. I used my drone and long exposure to show the movement around those who are standing still. Every picture has a unique story and approach.

The roads in Lithuania are not really good however we are doing our best to improve their condition. Workers do their job at night because in the daytime the traffic jams would be atrocious. This is a Gelezinis Vilkas street and it is extremely busy during daytime.
Two cars collided at slow speed so drivers filled a necessary insurance claim. Slowly moving traffic became even slower.
