Three Boys a Fish and a Water Fountain in Yambol City Park

Most pictures show this fountain from afar with the full moat and flower bed that surrounds it. Thought it would be different to focus on the three boys and the fish which make up the fountain feature. So here it is.

Sunday Anglers on Yambol's River Tundzha

It is Sunday afternoon and the fishing season started so no surprise to see two very happy anglers on Yambol's River Tundzha trying their luck for dinner tonight. However, today wasn't their lucky day, despite much time no fish caught on this session. 

A Weir On the River Tundzha

If you walk to the North End of Yambol's City Park and follow the Tundzha River North bound after just 500 metres you will arrive at a weir. This is a favourite place for Yambol folk to fish. You can see numerous fish jumping up trying to get on the higher level of water, but always failing with the water currently not too high. Lovely place but too noisy for me over time with the constant sound of the crashing water.

A Dangling Carp Outside A Yambol Fishmonger's Shop

This fishmonger shop in Yambol city centre is situated next to my local hairdresser and is one of a few fishmonger shops around. I don’t buy any fish from this one, but I do like the big plastic carp that hangs from the shop front. Again, this is untouched by the youth of Yambol and has happily dangled there for years and years to come hopefully.

From Barbecued Fish To Beds In Yambol

This vast Yambol shop used to be a restaurant that served barbecued fish. It is now another shop that sells beds and sofas added to the countless other shops that sell these goods. I think I’d prefer it as a fish restaurant as there aren’t any about that I know of and it is just around the corner from where I live.

Yambol's Tundzha River - View Looking North

Another view of Yambol's Tundzha rivert his time looking in a northwards direction heading towards Sliven. There are usually many fishermen here looking for a small snack for an evening meal. I've fished and tried some of the fish from this river and they are very tasty indeed. No doubt this will happen mnay more times now spring is here.

A Fat Yambol Cat Fed On Fish Donations

I see this lucky cat often, it hangs around a snack bar that serve fish (fried whitebait) every evening. We have often eaten there and this cat gets fed from customers from their restaurant tables. By the way, this snack bar is called 'Pre Jek' and is a perfect place to sit out warm evening eating fish and chips and a cold beer alongside. Very reasonably priced as well. The cat no doubt will have been on an involuntary diet in the winter, but will soon gain weight again in the spring when fish donations start up again.
