The First Swallows: Enlarged version of a plaster model created in 1964 by Juozas Mikėnas. To obtain the approval of the Soviet authorities, it was claimed that the sculpture was intended to honor Soviet cosmonauts. However, after Lithuania regained its independence, this false image was quickly dispelled. Today, the First Swallows symbolize Lithuania, and the birds rising from the palm symbolize freedom.

Good Morning #Canada
I think most Canadians know what an #Inukshuk is, but this post is intended to give you a greater understanding of these iconic piles of rock. An inuksuk, or inukshuk (plural inuksuit) is a type of stone landmark or cairn built and used by Inuit, including Iñupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and other peoples of the North American Arctic. These structures are found in northern Canada, north of the Arctic Circle, which is dominated by the tundra biome and has areas with few natural landmarks. These structures, often resembling human figures, serve various purposes, primarily as navigational aids and markers, but also as symbols of the Arctic landscape and Inuit culture.
