A brand new floating duck house was seen on Yambol's river Tunzdha today. No residents have moved in yet, but over time and with the change of seasons, there will be.
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.
