The Hooverville Hexagon: Bulgarian Wonders

 

FWR has been in Bulgaria. You won't believe what he's seen. He's enthusiastic about this holiday destination..

Bulgaria's Salt-Water Lake

by FWR

Lake Atanasovsko is a wonderful ecosystem. It even has the rare, tiny Etruscan pygmy shrew. And look what you can do!

FWR says: Natural salt bloody stinks by the way!

Old Nessebar

FWR: Old Nessebar earns it when it comes to World Heritage recognition. Beautiful place.

 


Visiting Old Churches

Churches from centuries long-past.


Music: Byzantine Troparion by Father Pavlos Iosifidis.

 FWR: Morning and night, from dawn over the Black Sea to dancing fountains, Bulgaria has been spectacular.

More to Come from Bulgaria.

In the meantime, we'd like you to admire these sparrows.

From Paigetheoracle, Scotland:

Sparrows on Paige's lawn

From FWR in Bulgaria:

Sparrows in a tree, possibly peach, in Bulgaria
From DG in Pennsylvania

Black-capped sparrow, called an English sparrow in the US, in a bush.
Conclusion: Sparrows are everywhere.

 

Now go bird-watching, Dmitri Gheorgheni, Editor

    Yay sparrows!

    Superb photos from Bulgaria - thank you. I knew about saltwater making you more buoyant, but didn't think about the smell - interesting.
