The artist Simon Menor, who was authorized to monitor snipers with the forces of Germany, Latvia, and Lithuania, took the photo above. Represents a nearly undetectable soldier in a position surrounded by mountain trees, plants, and powerful guns. Some of his telescope sights can be found if you look closely. This is the only way to find out where he's been hiding.
