As you walk the streets of Yambol it is not uncommon to see garden fences used as supports to grapevines. Everything is so open and trusting here as in the late summer, the grapes ripen to their sweetest tune and there is no thieving of the fruits by passers by or night walkers. This is one thing I just admire about Yambol, the trust they have to respect each other's garden produce. It maybe to do with most having their own grapevines and don't need to steal.
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.

Grapevine Garden Fences in Yambol

Martin I immediately thought of pick your own grapes, till I read all the text.
ReplyDeleteIf no one picks the grapes, do they dry up and become raisins? It must be wonderful to live in such a trusting place. I think our vines would be bare after a few weeks. When I came back from vacation, all the tangerines on our tree were gone, but "luckily", the culprits were probably the pesky squirrels and not people.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your continuous support in visiting my blog. I think I finally have time to return the favor. :)
