A Grand Driveway Gate In Yambol

This is one of the grandest gates in this part of Yambol which borders the Benkovski area. Plain, functional and impressive in Bulgarian style. I like the little gap in the base of the gate presumably for cats although I might be mistaken.

The Guarded Yambol City Boundary

A road leading out of Yambol is seen here, almost into no man's land. The stray dog lying on the right looks fierce so I gave my own fierce look before passing it and got away with it. There are many Gypsies who use this route to their own well know local homeland area in Benkovski. To many outsiders this is unknown territory.

Yambol's Benkosvski Covered In Snow

This is a shot of Yambol's Benkovski district well know for a dense Gypsy population. You can see lot so children playing in the snow, there are more children here than any other place in Yambol as it is a Gypsy vocation to have children at any age. Only a couple of weeks ago an 18 year old Gypsy from Benkovski gave birth to her third child. 

North Road Junction

The Junction looking westward. I have spent much time watching cars jump red light here! Turn left and you head towrds Benkovski a well known gypsy ghetto, (its not that bad, been there a few times). turn right and you head toward the town centre, straight ahead is the hospital and the road behind to Sliven a bigger and more posh town north of Yambol.

I live 400 metres from this junction
