Etropole, Bulgaria -- Remnants of a Bygone Era, a Lost World (A Photo Essay, Part 1)

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

These are just a few sites and sights in and around Etropole, one of my favorite small towns within easy reach of Sofia. The next part in the series should be coming up soon!


This is a Communist memorial -- to Alyosha, the Legendary Russian Soldier

Really enjoyed your tour of this area so much history and so beautiful

tip!

Thanks for the feedback and for the tip, Tattood!!

Our june bugs aren't as pretty. I like the Seussian flowers. Do you know what they are called?

No, but maybe our Bulgarian friends do?

Billiard Spirea seems to be what they are...the pool cue of the flower world. :D
