Remembering the Dead on Yambol Doors

A memory of the dead is always present in Yambol. Many doors are a memorial to those who have past away. At 40 days after death and every anniversary thereon - These memorials are refreshed and sometimes decorated with flowers on such occasions. A reminder in December that most old people in Bulgaria pass away in the cold winter months.

Yambol's Fine Fire Station Doors

As I walked past the fire staiton this fine November morning with the sun blazing down, it was the fire station doors that caught my eye. They are wooden and in perfect condition. What a change from the western sterile metal electronic shutter types you normally find. They actually open and close faster that the modern automatic doors as well.
