This sight is often seen in Yambol. Steps that are in need of repair are scattered around the undulating contours of the town. Always a bit of a trial walking these steps in the dark of night.
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.
