Photographer’s Note

We are visiting a small town Archeological and History Museum. At the lobby yard we meet remnants from Roman and Tracian times, 2 milleniums old. Almost every other town in the Balkans (Greece, Turkey, FYR Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Romania, Croatia, Monte Negro, Slovenia and Bulgaria)has a many century dramatic history withstanding the turbulences of a borderland between the Orient and the West...

Hi Anton!

Excellent to upload it in B&W.
I like archeological museums. Maybe in 2007 I will visit Bulgaria for a couple of days

(By grandma was born in Anatoliki Roumelia in 1911,I do not know the Bulgarian expression for this region, it is closed to Plovdid, which we called Philippoupoli and the village was called Stachtochori, which means Ashvillage).

I remeber her when she was some kind of angry she always said "metska" which is Bulgarian and means bear :-)

Hope you are doing well and I wish to you a nice weekend.

Well done file and blagodaria

Hallo Anton!
Here you make possible a very impressive view to the ancient world. Using b/w works very well here because colours aren't necessary and would only disturb the convergence. What a luck that these works of art are kept so well! Thank you for the suitable note!
Greetings from stormy and rainy Germany!

Hi Anton!
Great shot! I really like the B&W version. I've been in Plovdiv but I've not visited this museum. Seems very interesting!
Regards, Anabela

Hi Anton.

Perhaps a bit tilt, anyway a very interesting shot for the museums. The panoramic view and the black and white are good also for the photo.

Thanks for share.

Hello Anton,
Maybe I'm wrong but I will think this is the first black and white from edal...
And it fits the subject well, the tonal range is impressive and with good details!
Interesting light and a fine feeling of depth...
Greetings,
