Pomorie, Bulgaria. Via Pontica Series Part IV

Greetings, friends!

Have some salt! I mean a look at the salt pans in the salt museum...

Coming with a visual story

from a place on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, the little town of Pomorie. I have mentioned it in a previous series of mine about the Via Pontica bird migration path running South to North and back. You can find links to older posts about the area on the bottom of my article.

Pomorie is the first town north of the major port of Bourgas if we don't count the airport suburb of Sarafovo as a separate settlement. Which it kind of is. But lets say it's the first one out of the city's gravity pull. And a place most famous for its salt pans and sea salt plus other by products, some of them used in toothpaste manufacture even. The salty black mud some people go to for healthiness reasons...

In the background. I kind of did not want to disturb those folks so it's a compromise with the photo...

And that's about what I know about it, apart from a song... And now a few good artists painting there.

Or carving...

or stone... aranging?

And... I also think they have a brand of wine and rakia. (Come on, auto-correct, don't you know rakia, the only thing Bulgaria is famous about? It's not? Well, it's a type of hard alcohol drink. Distilled from the stuff that did not become wine.)

The beach, though, not very impressive. I did like the woman that sells powerful Bulgarian donuts, with lots of grease on the outside, more than any other activity on that beach.

And only recently did I take photos near the harbor.

Oh, I have something taken back during the summer, after all... give me a moment, please...

But I was not for any of those there.

I know you can tell. I went for the salt pans, after all. Because I am into photographing birds and birds seem to be very much into annihilating a those tiny organisms living in that kind of environment. Krill, etc.

And the combination of birds on suburban infrastructure makes me happy.

Makes me... wanna go slide backwards...

If anybody asks you how this one was made, just answer that for a grown up person it takes some lying down in the grass and crawling towards the pond as a kid would do. Or an alligator.

As you can see, the area of the museum is small and offers a great variety of scenes while at the same time being a temporary home to a lot of migrating species. Or some permanent residents. It is a great place for anybody to go and practice Wildlife photography. I strongly recommend such spots for beginners.

And even experienced bird spotters might find it interesting. I wish you warm and sunny days when you do!
