The distinctive contours of Bakadzhik as seen from Yambol. Although the fog had cleared on the lower ground some mist still remains on Bakadzhik.

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.
