Pictures of our home country (town)

Hi! What do you think about the idea to put here photos of our home country or town? In this way we can learn more about each other
I put some photos from Bulgaria, I hope the link will open, if not, I will upload it again. The first two are from Plovdiv where I work and live, the other 3 - from the mountain of Pirin - one of the most beautiful mountains in Bulgaria.
Enjoy it!

hi everyone :-) I live in Ukraine and probably later will post here some pics, and for now I just wanted to say that in sommer 2005 I visited Bulgaria, and I liked it very-very much! Unfortunately I wasn't in Sofia, but Belogradchik, Rousse and Vidin were great! Especially Belogradchik

Yes, Belogradchik is very nice.

oh girls,
it's such pleasure for me to see pictures of Sofia! I just fell in love with this city, I love Sofia so much! I was there last summer. Actually I was in Bulgaria for 2 weeks in Nesebr, and had a trip all over the country for couple of days by bus, and I visited Plovdiv (I like it too!), Rila Monastery and Sofia (and of course many other small towns on our way), and I love, love, love SOFIA!!!! I was almost crying leaving this city, and I had a lot of pictures, because I wanted to take a picture on every street:) I would give you the link to my photo album, but there is a lot of me there:) but if you still want, I will:)
all your pictures are so familiar....
very nice, very cozy...

oh, it's such a pleasure to hear such things about my hometown from a person from another country! :queen: I love it because I've always lived here so I can't be objective when it comes to talking about Sofia.(I hope the stray dogs were freindly with you ). I just adore Nessebar-it's the most beautiful and charming town at the Black Sea coast-and in sunny beach is a great deal of fun-it's a wonderful resort, very popular with Germans

Sofia seems really beautiful (i'd like to visit that some time..maybe when i'll visit albena and maxim what a dream!). It actually has similar arhitecture with Romania, at least parts of it. Bulgaria and Romania share pretty much same history as well (there are still major diferences but still).

I'd like to show you so many pictures with Romania and some of the great cities but i can not decide which one to show you...my town, arhitecture, buildings, nature?

let me know if you are willing to watch many photos..and then i'll post them. otherwise i'll have to do another selection. although history pieces and arhitecture is great, they/we do not preserve them as we should...it's a shame..

(i love moscow...i've seen some photos)

Forgot to add that we have a couple of medieval towns...one is sibiu - the cultural capital of europe next year. We received help in order to take care and repair the city. The other one is Sighisoara. It's the most oldest alive city in Europe. Beautiful...in summer there is a medieval festival over there...

Ohh, OlEnka!! Your pics are so so soo beautiful!!!!
Thank you for sharing them!!!

MAGic diable, I'm glad you like them!
and I have more )) probably I'll put them here, a bit later

I think this is a very good idea! I really love some of the pictures you girls have posted already-- Bulgaria looks so beautiful and interesting. I am always very jealous of places that have such a long history, because here in the US we just don't have anything like that. :|

I think probably most people have seen pictures already of the most famous places where I live (in Washington, D.C.), like the White House, and the Capitol buildings, and the famous monuments, so I'll try to find some things which are a little more unusual.

This is a picture of the cherry trees on the Tidal Basin (part of the Potomac River) which were given to the U.S. by Japan in 1912. Every year they bloom in late March/early April, and it's really pretty. (In the background is the Washington Monument)



This is the Washington National Cathedral. It's an Episcopal/Anglican church, and it's absolutely huge! But not very old... they started building it in 1907 and only finished it in 1990!



This, in fact, is the oldest surving building in Washington. It is very creatively called the "Old Stone House" and was built in 1765.

Oooh, Grace, I like very much your photos especially the second one. It's very beautiful. It's true that Washington is popular mainly with the White House and other buildings, but your pictures show things that are not so popular (at least for the not-americans) but are also beautiful
Thanks for these photos!
Kisses!

All these pics are beautiful! I really like the idea! Girls, you rule! I hope that someday i will be able to see all these cities. I have been only in New York, Annapolis, Towson and Baltimore... Hopefully, I will have some more experience...

So, now on the theme...

I live in Botevgrad, Bulgaria. A small town 60 km away from Sofia. But I spend one month of the year in Tzarevo - the most wonderful place on this earth for me! Actually w have a house there because it is my father's hometown. And also from one interview I understood that Albenka and Max spend their vacation in Sozopol or in Tzarevo... I was amazed! I hope that this year luck will be on my side.. and i will meet them by chance somewhere in the streets!

Here is one beautiful sunset... I just lvoe it!
