This is all year round. On Christmas and during these last 2007' days - smokes and smells are entering my home. Samokov.... It looks like people accept the situation for normal. That is a private land - then everything is allowed!? How? Why the Municipality keeps busy and silent? Why do they clean this private land twice a week? Why no one ever really tried to stop this, to solve the problem?...
Will this continue in 2008? Kepp an eye on my blog "Through my window" here: http://www.photoblog.com/mysamokov/
O, yes... the traditional question: "Where is Samokov?"= Here you are what Wiki says:
"" Samokov (Bulgarian: Самоков) is a town in Sofia Province in the southwest of Bulgaria. It is situated in a kettle between the mountains Rila and Vitosha.
Due to the suitable winter sports conditions, Samokov, together with the nearby resort Borovets, is a major tourist centre."""

Taken from my window... in Samokov.
My property... is the only option to sell it? To find a British family keen on settling here? What to do, when no one wants to help? Nor Samokov municipality, nor the Environmental agency, nor the regional health authorities....

This is Bulgaria. My town. Samokov...
Where British people are buying properties.
Where some people are developing tourism.
Where I live and breath...

dogs all over the place. it is scary to go on the street, esp. in early mornings. the other day it was 2 a.m. when I somehow managed to escape 4 dogs chasing after my bicycle... who cares? tourism is important, how do people live doesn't matter much... ...
