Many people tend to lead very busy lives in this day and age, most of whom forget the beauty of the world around them. Photographers tend to fulfill that need by reminding people of moments and places that make this world such an amazing place to live in. Here is a gallery of some of my captured moments from my recent visit to Bulgaria. Enjoy :)

One of the tourist attractions available in Sunny Beach Bulgaria is the opportunity to leave the beach and explore the real culture of Bulgaria in classic 4×4 Jeeps. This excursion cost us approximately 70 Lev per person or roughly £35 at the time. Over the course of about 6 hours you are taken in a convoy of Jeeps deep into the Bulgarian countryside. The route begins with leaving the tourist resort of Sunny Beach and entering the grassy outback of fairly straight and flat roads. This slowly begins to change as the terrain gets bumpier and you encounter steep hills and sharp 45 degree turns. Before you know it you are driven through a small river stream which may get you wet.
Time for a short break as the extremely funny tour guide calling himself your mum or “mama” briefs you on the events of the day. The first stop you are informed of is a Whisky shop. This is not any ordinary whisky as the Jeeps stop in a small village and you enter what looks like a small brick room. Inside this room is an active homebrew operation to create Rakia the traditional Bulgarian alcoholic whisky drink. At 70% proof you feel the burn as it goes down your neck.

Whilst in Bulgaria, we went on an excursion known as the Jeep Safari which took us into the mainland and away from the touristy beach resort. Along this journey we stopped at a local village which had it’s own farm animals. Here is a gallery showcasing various animals such as a Red Deer and a very angry Ostrich from the farm.

Nessebar is a historic island peninsula located on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, Europe. It was declared a world heritage site in 1983, and is home to buildings and ruins spanning decades of history. Nessebar is a popular destination for tourists visiting the nearby resort of Sunny Beach. Today, it has been separated into two separate towns consisting of Old Nessebar the peninsula and the mainland on the other side of the bridge, New Nessebar. New Nessebar contains modern restaurants similar to London’s West End. Old Nessebar still retains its atmospheric flare with many restaurants located around the coast of the island with landmarks and market stalls and shops filling the inner alleys.
