Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia

This pigeon gathering puzzled me. I didn’t see food or anything nearby, only cars. Why did they go and stay there, most of them not visibly moving? The big bucket to the right says salt.
One of the two pedestrian overpasses in my neighborhood got renovated and reopened. Here’s how it looked in the beginning of January and today.


We had no easy access to the park for 6 weeks, which affected the number of steps I make.
I don’t think the overpasses are practical. They are inaccessible and difficult to maintain. The elevators get used as toilets. I think a real solution would be a traffic light and slowing down the traffic on the main boulevard (Tsarigradsko Shose). It’s too noisy and dirty as is, it’s not just that it cuts Mladost in half and the wrong half is miserable despite the park.
Speaking of the park, I finally visited it today. The temperature was -10° C. Some very cold 5k steps.
