The stone pattern on the wall of Yambol's Eski Cami is quite hypnotic. I like the window style with perfect cicles in contrast to more rustic patterns elsewhere.
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.

Eski Cami (Ebu Bekir) Sign Finally Found in Yambol
After 14 years after first coming to Yambol I finally found the sign for the Turkish Mosque in Yambol. It is placed quite high up on one of the walls and certainly well above eye level which is why many people miss it. Commonly known as Eski Cami (Ebu Bekir) it is always a reminder of the Ottoman Rule and therefore not looked upon fondly here.

Musli Graffiti Found on Ebu Bekir Mosque in Yambol - Not Breakfast!
At first I wondered why someone would put graffiti with a bad spelling of a healthy breakfast on the Ebu Bekir Mosque in Yambol. then I realised it is really means muslim, yet still curious as to why a label is needed on the mosque.

This is another view of Yambol's Ottoman Mosque that stands just off the centre of the City. A reminder of the Turkish rule not too long ago. It is still used by the Turkish Muslim minority in Yambol..
