Despite its tragic past, Batak is still a picturesque small town, as can be seen in the following pictures :)
If there are storks in Bulgaria, it is spring or summer.
Dormition of the Mother of God Church
Every parking lot should have one of these :D
"Bulgarian, it is for you they died ...": a monument to those lost in the struggle to liberate Bulgaria, featuring a snippet from their national poet, Hristo Botev, and the names of those who perished ...
"For Bravery" (I don't for the life of me know what the Maltese Cross's role is here. Any ideas?) ...
Typical communist "art" (propaganda):
A neglected chapel ...
Well folks, that's about the extent of the center of town. Stay tuned for more installations. Ciao за now!

Want to have your post on the map too?
Got to love that communist propaganda, and the giant stork nest.
For that, you get another stork pic :)
Haha! It's amazing that best can hold anything in. It looks like some branches caught in a stream and stuck atop a building
We ain't speaking swallows' eggs here :D
such history and style and character, the history there is clearly amazing

Glad you like it, tat!
I have still to meet a Bulgarian stork but have been an admirer of their handiwork.
Another jet integrated into a village/town? Is that a common thing?
It is appears to be :)
