Snowstorm

Climate change has brought softer winters to Sofia. It is the first time we’ve had two days with snow this season, and the snow barely hides the grass. It was, however, very windy, so the few snowflakes and the modest -2°C felt quite unpleasant. We could call it a snowstorm, in the absence of a real one.

I also managed to see a protest against our mayor. Equal parts protesters, journalists, and police stared at a tiny pile of trash. I walked by piles larger than this on my way to the center.

From left to right:

• The National Library, which I’ve only visited once in my life
• The anti-trash protest with the modest pile of trash
• The Levski Monument, with a photo that deserves a post in the Communism series because of the iconic Serdika Cinema
• The Church, with a bit of the Square 500 gallery to the left
• Sofia Tech Park with one of the surrounding office buildings

And in all the photos, the sky, wondering why anyone would go outside on this dark day.
