For sure such a view have inspired the Bulgarian song about the motherland: "...the sky is silk-like..."!

Though the second-week-lasting rains are already spoiling the colours of spring, all's well that ends well. In this case - Friday the 13th. And the sky was exactly the way you see it on the picture. To the east, because to the west it hailed. Not because this would hinder me. But the countre-jour, of course.

With some sun for my brush, the aquarelle is ready. And so am I. For the remaining days of the so-forecasted rainy may. Twined with silken scarf.

Or, in other words, this what a person creates when Plovdiv is in their mind.

Do not get it wrong - the name of the city is Plovdiv. But, yes, Plovdiv is Love. And the way Kapana district transformed into an area of creativity during the last several years is a real Happiness. )

The building along the main street of Plovdiv are superb. However, there are some rules to follow in order to notice them: 1. to stop window-shopping, and 2. (much harder) to take your eyes off the vivid citizens.

This picture was provoked by a tree lightened from below over the just-after-sunset sky. While I was shaking my hands in search of the perfect composition, I 'stepped' on the opposite building, namely the City Art Gallery.

In other words, this image shows what is like being a citizen of Plovdiv - free-minded, inspired and, above all, chilled-out!

It is not bad when a working day ends with a scientific event, and if a cultural component is added, it gets a non-obtuse triangle for sure. It depends on the circumstances, of course. As mine led me to the so-called 'Bermudian Triangle' of the University of Sofia - the three faculties of mathematics, chemistry and physics placed in a close vicinity, this made me to un-disappear unlike the prototypical region in the Atlantic Ocean.

The first 'appearing' photo is made in the Faculty of Physics. The second one marks my successful passing by the Faculty of Chemistry when leaving the Zone just before it got dark.

It is available only in Bulgarian however the language of photography gives a glimpse on the field work. Although it took about a month, it marked my dissertation. And it wouldn't be possible without the support of my friends, some mentors and organisations - some help that I greatly appreciate.

PS The abstract (in Bulgarian) can be found HERE.

Some people doesn't like dogs, and other - love them. But what kind of people get a dog and abandon them after?

And this guy is in search of a new familiy. His nice look and good manners make me believe it won't take long.
