I
don’t remember such heat as I’ve experienced this past week in Sofia – although
I lived through 4 Tashkent summers; 2 Baku
ones and 2 Bishkek ones.
The saving graces for the latter 2 were the sea
(Caspian) and the mountain respectively. And Vitosha mountain does give Sofia
delightful breezes……
The
afternoon trips to the (indoor) pool also help. The (ageing) body needs such
compensations – which is why I look forward to returning shortly to my
(Carpathian) redoubt which was still in June a bit cold and damp…..
Sofia’s
big event a couple of months ago was the opening of its new art complex in what
was its Museum of European Art. It took me 4 hours to do it all justice – but I
am a copious note-taker (for my ongoing project about Bulgarian art - Memory’s Veil – lifting
the shroud concealing Bulgarian Art)
I
shall shortly create a new folder about this on my Flickr file
In the meantime, here's a little paintings we were gifted this week by Yuliana Sotirova.....
