K-Town: The Beauty

The traditional color of the houses here.  

There are roads, but as many horses with carts as trucks use them. 
The colors blossomed all around us. 

We met a number of interesting people on our walk on Sunday morning.  Here a farmer takes his bull for a walk. 
He pointed us in the right direction. 
Some beautiful horses caught our attention on our walk. 

Hello Mr. Ed - this one joined in our conversation. 
Old school potato farmer. 
He wanted to sell us some of these sacks of potatos. 
The waves of soil 
He didn't have the kind of help that the owners of this potato field had.
The local cemetery. 
A wider angel.  
A look at the main church from above. 
I take this same shot every time I'm here. 
Our local cafe.
This is pretty much what you do here. 
This is a crumbling house we found in a church's courtyard. 
Some broken headstones on the side of the church. 
Another part of the above house in the churchyard.

Nice photos, Mike. I really liked the all the small-scale, old-school farming in Koprivshtitsa, like it hadn't really changed in centuries. There were a few tractors and trucks, but not many...they seemed like afterthoughts.

Nice pictures. I especially like the shadows on the horse pictures - I get a real sense of the time of day.
