And mysterious. Yes, what to smell - all Bulgaria is impregnated with some kind of mysticism and mystery. Sacred Earth.
This is one of the numerous village in the Rhodop Mountains, not far from Kardzhali.
And this is a desert crossroads of Roads at Borovitsa.
One of the most visited places in this district is Meandr River Arda (Kardzhalya reservoir). As says valeryRomanov. , there is no bad weather, so I will not say a word that we are not particularly lucky with a sunset. In my opinion, this place is fine with any light and weather. This place was very reminded me in Germany - Saarshaife, which I shot 3 years ago. That place, like this, made a very strong impression on me.
Rhodopskoe bulls are quite peaceful and does not propose to search for "seeds in his pockets."
Yellow rain ... dejavu. Somewhere I have already seen him for this trip ... I can not remember ...
Oh, yes, it was in Romania.
In the Rodopian mountains, many settlements of the Bulgarian of Turkish origin. Because many settlements have the second. Turkish, title. We stayed for the night in Borovice, who also be called CamDere. The largest house in the center of the village of 370 people - the City Hall. In the same building there is a cafe and a single store.
This is the center of life, here are going to villagers - drink beer, coffee, smoke, communicate.
Guests here are rarity, so they are always happy.
The villagers often take products in debt, which is sometimes not even written - they themselves remember how much and what they took. On the shelves, a standard set of agriculture. There is a Rakia - even though they are the Turks, but for too long ago live in the Balkans. But failed to find wine - do not. You can in advance to order some dishes on the mangale, and they will be prepared - they will not leave hungry.
This is the owner of the store. When I learned that we are from Russia, I smiled broadly: "Oh, brother!"
For guests in the village there is a whole villa for two floors. Despite the fact that most of the time it is empty (perhaps not the season), it is supported at a decent level. There is amazing fast internet, hot water.
Walls decorate numerous paintings written by the son of the owner. Now he constantly lives somewhere in the center of Europe, recognized, his work is in demand.
The best time for traveling by Rhodopams is autumn. Just googled pictures and understand everything yourself. Indifferent exactly will not be left. I really want to be here again, in the afternoon to see, swim in the rivers, ignite the fire in the forest, pass the long evening with the villagers in the cafe.
