Cat’s Tongue

~ Veselin ~ 7 Comments

I forgot my office keys today, so I worked for a few hours from a nearby shop and had a cookie there. We have a traditional recipe for cookies called Cat’s Tongue – essentially flower, sugar, butter, and vanilla, prepared in a shape that reminds a tongue. To celebrate that moment, here’s a photo of one of the local cats, showing the real deal.

Love and Hate

My daily walk was short. I captured only a few photos.

This is a palindrome sculpture in Sofia Tech Park, where I briefly visited OpenFest. I somehow missed the meaning of the sculpture the last few times I walked past it. I think it’s pretty cool, although I wish it was painted and not with this rusty color. I suspect the sculptures in the park have a shared meaning, like things are not what they look. There are other elements nearby with a clear dual meaning.

For example, this is either a violoncello, or a piece of metal that fell off, depending on the point of view. I wasn’t sure which one so went back and checked the welds – clearly welded this way, very solid sheet of steel, not broken and dented.

And and out-of-focus animal, probably a squirrel.

Blue and Yellow

I took a look at the sky this morning, and it was not lead gray.

This motivated me to do a bit more steps outside. The gallery shows a couple of landmarks from the city, complimented by Blue and Yellow.

  • The Turtle
  • Sofia University
  • The Cathedral
