Just after 06:00 this morning and the sunrise appears due East on the outskirts of Yambol. Due to be the hottest day of the year today!
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.
