Bulgaria's Black Sea Coast




The harbor in Balchik, Bulgaria.

 

Black Sea

This is the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria. The pictures were shot in Krapetz, Northern Bulgaria. Krapetz is a small village with little more than 200 inhabitants. There is a wide, sandy beach nearby. A local entrepreneur has also built a hotel in the village center a couple of years ago. However, mass tourism has not reached this part of Bulgaria and the village has preserved its pristine character and looks so far.

High Above the Clouds

I always go for a window seat when flying. It is a great opportunity to take heavenlike pictures of the clouds especially if the weather is nice. I shot the following pictures with my iPhone on board of Austrian Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Varna (Bulgaria) via Vienna.

Phoenician Marine Wall - Batroun, Lebanon



The Phoenician Wall in Batroun.

 Batroun is a charming small town in north Lebanon. The town lies on the coast, some 50 km to the north of Beirut.

The major thing to see in Batroun is the maritime wall which was built by the ancient Phoenicians to protect them against sea storms and invaders.
