Sofia – Shining pearl of the Balkan peninsula

September 13, 2014November 27, 2017kenritley

Sofia

It’s nothing special, but this photo of the sun radiating off the white skyscrapers in Sofia, Bulgaria is one of my favorites. You’ll have to zoom the picture to see the effect.

I’m taking this photograph from the posh Dragalevtsi neighborhood at the foot of the Vitosha mountain. Looking north, those are the Balkan mountains off in the distance.

Bulgaria, Travel
