I had a chance to spent a week in Spain.
In particular I visited the northern coastline only, from Bilbao to Luarca.
Enormous waves are crashing in the bridge of Burgas.
Stormy winter morning around the south Bulgarian coast of Black Sea.
I went to Rhodope Mountains to search this rarely combination - forest covered with a snow at sunrise.
An annual photo report of Year 2011.
My hometown Burgas in new Christmas decorations.
Some photos of the beautiful frozen Scary lake, high in Rila Mountain.
This year the autumn was unpredictable and unusual. I took this as a challenge and went to the long route to the unknown.
A travel in searching for the autumn.
A quiet mist is crawling in the shadows over the calm lake. It reaches the shine of the first sunbeams and tries to cover the light, fury as a vampire.
A day's march in Pirin Mountain, codenamed Blueberry Feast.
Walking from Bezbog hut to Kremen Lakes, climbing Dzhano peak and camping out under the moonlight sky.
Sunbeams consists important requirement in movies when the scene takes place in the forest. Machines and projectors help to do this. Practically, such natural phenomenon is very rare and continues quite short.
There was nothing in that overcast that promised a spectacular sunset. Lucky me, the sun somehow squeezed from beneath the thick greyish layer and as I was driving, the tempting light found me in the muddiest possible place.
Sintra is a small resort town, near Lisbon. The first thing that attracts tourists is a whimsical building with conical chimneys situated right at the square. And there's more. There is Pena Palace above the city and a medieval fortress in the vicinity, some other historical and natural landmarks are at my disposal too.
I made a quick research before going to Portugal. I checked the seaside near Lisbon for seascape places. Naturally, I chose Cabo da Roca, I guess it is Portuguese for Rocky Cape.
I fell in love with Lisbon at first sight.
This might seem like an unusually banal start to an article, but I've never felt so comfortable even in my hometown.
I had a few days available to go sightseeing in Lisbon, so I only had time for main streets walks and some side streets walks too.
I let pass the characteristics of Lisbon - the steep tram lines, tiled houses, graffiti or quantities of historical houses.
Here I share with you all that drew my attention.
We proved two fundamental lessons in this march:
One learns from his mistakes and Repetition is the mother of learning.
In the first place we climbed Mount Bezbog from the wrong side and we found out on the way back how thoughtless was our slippage in the dwarf pines.
Second, exposed to the cold we missed the opportunity of a precious hour, instead of on our way to Polezhan.
In the lower parts of the montain reigns a severe winter.
These last few days a frosty fog spreads over the snowy trees.
In the high mountains of The Balkan sun is the master.
Winter has not yet gone and there goes a strenuous struggle for supremacy.
Right at sunrise, icy clouds crawl out of the dark glens and rush at the peaks.
The pass is buried in fog, the trees bend under the snow.
I go upstairs, 894 are the steps of the stairs of the monument and there I get over the clouds.
In the distance, a lonely peak barely sticks up.
