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.

A Grave With Beer Bottles In Yambol
This weekend was a visit to the Yambol cemetery to pay our respects by lighting candles and tidying up relative's graves. One grave I saw was well tended but I was more intrigued by the beer bottles used as vases fot the fresh flowers laid today.
I sometimes use wine bottles, especially if they're a pretty color. :) They sure look better than the cheap white-painted clay pots that many flower shops use here.
I like the layout of the graves, like each one is a mini garden.
If the water freeze, they will not break.
ReplyDeleteLOL, that's pretty funny. Maybe the deceased loved beer :)
ReplyDeleteMartin, perhaps he fancied a tipple! More probably they make a cheap disposable vase I guess?
