I can see clearly now...

Most days, Bulgaria's beautiful landscape is covered in a haze of smog and smoke rising from the villages that are scattered across the countryside. Today, however, the layer of pollution that usually is seen on the horizon was lifted!


Fields of dormant winter crops bordered by leafless trees


Looking toward Topolovo at the Rhodope mountains

We stopped on the side of the road for a few pictures. We just couldn't resist - it was SO beautiful!


Across the valley are the snow-peaked Pirin mountains
