In Sofia, there is a very nice part of the centre, full of parks and gardens and beautiful old
buildings. It is situated between Shipka str., Evlogi Georgiev blvd., Yanko Sakazov blvd. and Vasil Levski blvd.
The beginning of my walk that day started from Sofia University. It was the opening of the university year there and the area was full of 1st year students. But there was one small bench, staying alone with nobody to get interested in sitting on it. That happened in the Doctors' Garden, a small, but a very beautiful park between Shipka str. and Oborishte str.
Then I passed by the British Council which in fact could be seen on the photo with the bench. It's just on the corner of Oborishte str. and Krakra str. Walking in Krakra str., I reached Yanko Sakazov blvd. and entered "Oborishte" park, previously known as "Zaimov" park. Compared to other parks such as Borisova gradina and Iujen (Soouth) park, it's a small one, but you can stoll through it for more than a kilometer. Yesterday was a warm and sunny autumn day so there were many people: from children to retired people enjoying the weather and fresh air. People were cleaning the alleys from the fallen leaves and a small truck was collecting the rubbish. All fountains were on. Hm, yes, they are also sponsored by a company -
this time by Darik radio whose office is nearby at Dondukov blvd. But nevermind, it's enough that they're turned on, I like it. And one can't see the small signs from the distance, so it's not disturbing at all.
There were photographers - I guess professional ones or professional amateurs - judging by the big machines they were carrying. :) I didn't have the courage to take photos near them with my small "tourist-suited" camera :-D
I reminded myself of the great times I've had in
this park with my classmates. We used to walk to this park from NDK! My high school is situated behind NDK (in fact, a tram stop away from NDK),
but we used to walk kilometers after school in order to go to this park - just to play table-tennis. On the next photo one of the tables can be seen. It's not very clear because of the strange way the alley is made. It was done 1 or 2 years before I graduated high school and the first time I saw it I couldn't believe. So strange! :)
