A Yambol Tree With Lovely Coloured Bark

This lovely tree on a Yambol road bordering the Tundzha River just hit me with its colour on the bark. I spent ages just looking at this particular medley of colours and though how many other people actually would notice this? Not many locals, but then does anyone notice things like this on their doorstep?

A Broken Down Lada In Yambol

The Ladas of Yambol are a dying breed. Every ten cars you saw in Yambol a few years ago eight might well have been Ladas and it would take you quite a while to find ten cars! Now the volume of traffic and the amount of modern western European cars imported it quite a turn around. So when I see a broken down Lada I feel quite sorry for it. This particular Lada will be fixed very cheaply and last longer than many other makes of cars that increasing continue to pollute Yambol.

Yambol Apartment Block

Just a typical scene of a Yambol block apartments seen from street level. They work and are really expensive in Yambol now. They are in short supply but you wouldn't think living in one of those would appeal unless you are in Bulgaria. Air-conditioning systems seem to be the fashion now with many having already been installed as you can see.
