I noticed these interesting extensions above some shops I was waiting outside today. This particular row of shops have a flat roof and the guttering that was put above it was designed in such a fashion to extend the excess water during rain to drain away from the shop front area. One you can see has rusted away and broken off, there are others that have done the same out of the picture further long. Good idea, but they never get replaced or repaired once dropped off.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.
