Sofia can give you moments of color and beauty that only exist for brief moments here and there, and only to the people who go out and look. Get behind the wheel and none of that exists. Here are a few moments from my morning walk.

1. A rose in Sofia Tech Park. Behind – a trace from the real-estate bubble. Not far is the cosplay party G-fest where colorful young people are doing whatever they’re doing. I don’t understand it but their outfits are pretty.

2. A semi-abandoned building near Bulgarian Academy of Science. My usual path doesn’t go there but a door was closed and locked with a padlock. I needed it to be open. So I had to walk around and saw it. These little puffy things? There were a million of them.

3. The beekeeper

Someone is producing honey near BAS. Not sure how that works in an urban area with a very high population density, but as you see from the photo, it happened. These things are hives.

Sofia has the tendency to turn into a jungle and does it here and there. I guess, the bees thrive in those islands wilderness.
