60.49 Bulgaria: Devin: A bright spot along the Vacha River...so many of them.

A little color, a little mountain, a little water and a lot of pleasure.
A lot of color.  

  When we were growing up, (some might say it never occurred), we enjoyed a visit to the movies. During those periods, advertising dominated the preliminary features. This was followed by an interval and immediately before the main attraction eventually took to the screen, it was preceded by a major advert: 'Rothmans of Pall Mall', a cigarette. The advert was often more exciting and certainly more informative than some of the movies we watched. The theme of the advert was that 'Should a person not have visited London then that person had not lived'. 

  Currently, I would express doubt as to the statement, particularly in recent years. However, my point is simply this: 'Should a person not be mesmerized by nature's process of creating autumn coloring and of course, enjoying much pleasure from the flora, then one is surely not living'. Okay, an opinion but a strong one...and perhaps, a colorful one, too.

 

Early morning view from our apartment in Devin. It was difficult to leave but we did depart and returned two weeks later. Then we faced the same dilemma once more. Still struggling to find a solution. 

 Jenni saunters down to the river.
Certainly worth it and then we walked and climbed along it.
Countryside scene...peace, tranquility and harmony.

A certain richness of color...superb.

Calm day at the river.

A rough part of the river hike but that's what creates the challenges and excitement.
Nature colors our rather bleak world. Correction: The world is anything but bleak. The bleakness emanates from the gray people of the world.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
