LAST UPDATE 28th October 2012


Thank you for visiting my site.
This site has been set up to give me the opportunity to share with you some of the stunning scenery and amazing nature
that surrounds me every day.
Many people have asked me what Bulgaria is like and hopefully, the images you see here will give you an insight to this amazing
country.
I am not a professional photographer and only developed an interest after moving to Bulgaria in December 2006 with my wife.
There is so much here to see and the country is incredibly diverse, from the highest mountains where you can see for miles, to golden beaches.
It is possible to walk for hours and not see another soul and your view will be unspoiled by buildings.
As for the nature, Bulgaria has over 425 species of bird either resident or visitor,  like the Storks, Bee eaters, Golden Orioles,
Vultures and Imperial Eagles just to name a few.  Bulgaria is a perfect holiday destination for keen bird watchers.
It would also be of great interest to anyone with an interest in flora and fauna with its stunning array of wild flowers and insects.
And of course if you are a photographer, whether professional or for hobby, the opportunities are endless, as you will see here.
The majority of photos have been taken within a 3 village radius of my home near Yambol Town, southern Bulgaria. With other shots,
like the Vultures, taken just a 2 hour drive away.
Village life itself is very different to anything I have experienced before. Many older Brits have said that it reminds them of the
UK 50 years ago. Most homes have chickens and goats etc and life is lived at a slower pace.
I am new to this and have tried, where possible, to identify the various birds, insects and plants that I have seen.
 I apologize if  I  have made any errors and would ask that if you can help with the identification process it would be great to be
able to put names to everything.
 I hope you like my site and would appreciate any feedback via my contact page. Whether you have a question or general comment
 or can help with naming, I look forward to hearing from you.


Once again thank you for taking the time to visit my site and I hope you enjoy it.
