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

According to Picture This, I spotted a Saucer Magnolia today. Will keep an eye on it. Curious if any saucers will fly away.


Feeling like Rocky Balboa from Rocky 5 today.


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.

I know nearly zero about Archery, other than South Koreans are very good at it. But I witnessed a tournament in the nearby park not once but twice because apparently it took two days. Looks like a beautiful and relaxing sport. I should try it one day.
