It is now September, for a lot of us that means new beginnings... and a lot of rain. But the sunny times haven't faded away just yet; I have a slice of summer prepared here for you today.
These are some snaps from my recent visit to Bulgaria, a land of blue mountains, untainted countryside and what the locals refer to as 'dupka de dupka', which roughly translates as, 'loads of potholes'.
Enjoy...
Nobody goes to Bulgaria for Sofia, but it was worth trekking around to see the sights after arriving at the airport. Above is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and surrounding it, the yellow brick paving leading to Parliament Square, where a lot of the recent political action has been taking place.
There's an abundance of caves to explore across the country; this one is found on the journey eastward from Sofia. I felt a bit like Indiana Jones walking around it; there are several totally dark exits leading to who knows where... you can just imagine some kind of monstrous creature flying out or crawling over you if you dare to enter. Also, mind the bat droppings.
Driving across the country... this is what you want to see. I love the drama that this photograph evokes, and how depth is created by the crops in the foreground and the distant hills and river catching the light. Beautiful.
Speaking of beautiful... the Krushuna Waterfalls were a refreshing experience, based within a little adventure trail leading straight up to the spring. It's the kind of place where you really are one-on-one with nature. Man, water and rock.
Finally, I leave you to take a seat overlooking the town of Lovech.
More photos to come in the next post... Ciao-ciao!
