Sea Art and Cats - Promenade Walk in My Favorite Coastal City

in #hive-1555302 years ago

Maybe I shouldn't have shown you the continuation of my sunniest walk last week. I intended to show it to you in the deepest winter. Well, mid-December what is it? Isn't this the dead of winter?
Not at all. It turned out that last week winter hadn't started yet, and I had already blown all my cartridges. You know, to cheer up and encourage. Myself and you.
Yes, last week winter hadn't started yet. Monday night to Tuesday this week it started. The extreme cold, which makes it difficult for even the air conditioners to heat the individual rooms of the house, and I freeze every time I leave the door of the house (our poor kittens are freezing outside too 😿❄️⛄️)
Yes, I know it's easier to complain about something that hasn't happened yet. Like I complained about winter before it came, but now it's different. And I don't even know what other options I have left. Except for one. To show you walks in warm weather. And in warmer places. And that's exactly why I'm pulling the big trump cards up my sleeves today. Today, when the temperatures outside are below zero. To show you a sea walk in my most favorite coastal city Burgas.

(You see the famous pier of the city in the background. Soon, I will show you a walk on it too.)

It was a day when I decided to walk along the beach of this beautiful city.
I was thinking about something, I was walking around quite distracted when I saw a couple of foreigners who had stopped to take a picture of this sand art. I don't know if I would have seen it if they hadn't shown it to me in an indirect way. Sometimes, or rather quite often, I can't do two things at the same time, namely think, and notice things around me while walking. 😄

This made me suddenly become more attentive, stop thinking about nonsense, and concentrate on my walk, here and now. As it should be. Otherwise I would have missed many more things.
Which this wonderful city is inevitably full of.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of sand sculptures. Maybe because they are short-lived. Just like the ice sculptures. And all of this is probably caused by the fact that short-lasting scares me (so does long-lasting, lol 😃)

Some kind of beach cabin with unclear functions. I adore all beach structures, regardless of their type and function. Anyway, I love the beach, I love the sea. But I didn't photograph this cabin here, actually. I took pictures of the kittens around.
Do you see them? 😻

Other beautiful kittens on the other side of the beach promenade.
I've told you before that during that year, the pandemic year, the street cat population increased too much.

This photo is unique and highly symbolic. Typical of a seaside town, of course. But so beautiful and precious, saying so much.
What do I mean?
Bulgaria has a problem regarding environmental protection. Mostly because of people's mentality. The common sight of such a place - a bench on a boardwalk - is the area around to be littered. Having empty bottles, snack wrappers, cigarette butts and sunflower seed husks littered around.
But no, that's not the case here. Here, in place of all the above, there are clam shells.
Do you understand how artistically symbolic this image is? It's not real. It is a work of art!

Another kitty basking in the sun outside a now closed beach shack.
In fact, these photos were taken at the end of the tourist season and the beginning of the cold one. The weather is unstable - sometimes sunny, sometimes requiring warm clothes. But it's not winter. And it doesn't carry that freezing steadfastness of winter's sad season.

And here it comes, the other work of art for the day what I wanted to show you most today.

Do you know what this is?

You should know if you managed to read another old post of mine. A post in which I show you up close and in detail the exterior of another such coastal building.

A bunker!

Painted the same way the other one I showed you once was painted.

Well, I like that other one better, I admit. Maybe because there are more colors there than here, as well as more marine life. It seems somehow more alive and the picture more moving, more animated.

IMG_20221217_234205.jpg

But on the other hand, this one here has been renovated better and already has its purpose. I don't know if it works now, I don't know if it worked then, I never went inside. But maybe I should have. When else would I go to the bathroom in a military bunker? 😆


So guys, this walk ends here today. I have many other things to show you. But this would be the next time.
Happy Wednesday Walk and see you next time on this wonderful occasion in this great community!

Hive.jpgSoul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.

There is something magical about beaches, no matter what time of the year. The sand art is amazing!

Absolutely! Even something beyond magic, that I personally can't express and explain. It's about the sea, of course, and I guess it's embedded on a subconscious level in all people, because we can all feel it. 😊

Hello dear friend @soulsdetour good day
I was delighted that you invited us to the walk today. and above all that you let us know this work of art in sand, something common in coastal towns.
Beautiful and warm images, a way to spend the winter days
Have a nice day

In this same city there is a kind of exhibition, a special place where a collection of sand figures can be visited. I didn't want to do it this time. These two sand figures placed just like that on the beach, for free, were enough for me to enjoy this art. 😃
Have a great day you too!

How beautiful the sculptures on the beach! I live in a very warm country. Here in December and it still feels warm.

I envy you! Totally sincere 😊 My body is not made for living in a cold country. But here, half the year is cool, cold, very cold or freezing. 🌡️😱

Thank you for sharing such lovely photos of your beach walk! I loved the sand art to start! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Glad you liked my walk! 😊 Thank you!

I did, indeed, and absolutely! Merry Christmas! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Waw it's so wonderful, how to make something really beautiful like that,

I see the actor again here😅,She is also sweetShe's also sweet, you have a beautiful day

These actors here are a bit more special. 😃 They are the rulers of the street, born to survive in adverse environments. Still, the place here is nicer than other parts of the country.

Yes, they are great actors😅, Sure, I really like the place you share

Wow, that looks amazing! Pieces of sand art for sure! Thanks for sharing..

I'm glad you liked them! A rather short-lived way to express artistic abilities though 😃

Yes, that's a shame for sure!

Beautiful captures, and I like the sand sculptures.

Thank you! Glad you liked them 😊

This was such an interesting walk. It is better to see that kind of environment surrounding and explore some stuff.

Oh yes, exploring a coastline is always an interesting endeavor and offers so many wonderful things to discover and see. 😊

I can see why is your fav coastal city, lol - so much to see! Not to mention the shapes drawn in the sand which are next level. Loved it!

Glad you liked them! 😊 Coastal cities always have thousands of wonderful things to discover. They literally lurk every meter, not kilometer. I don't even know how many meters I walked to capture all this. One can just take pictures all day when walking here. 😃

Your country has a good place to take pictures, the trees and the atmosphere are so beautiful. Merry Christmas

Ha ha, that's something someone says for the first time - my country has a good place to take pictures. Until recently, even I thought the exact opposite 😃
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🎊

Pleasure to walk along with you this Wednesday. Lovely area habituated by creative people, I can tell.
I like how you post processed the sand sculptures, I thought initially they are made of ice :)

!PIZZA
!PIMP

By creative people and by cats, I'd say 🤭
I admit that processing the photos of the sand sculpture gave me a hard time. But I didn't mention that in the post. Because I only realized the reason after I wrote it. It is the specific sand in this my beloved city. Do you see the black shades? It's not normal sand, that's why it stands so specific. 😊
P.S. I was almost sure you'll mention something about that, you seem to be so impeccable in the content of your posts and especially the pictures you show.
!LUV
!PIZZA

Ah, I understand now. That sheds some light on the subject ;)

Yes, I don't always read everything carefully but I pay attention to the photographs! :)

!PIZZA


You must be killin' it out here!
@lightcaptured just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @soulsdetour.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/1 possible people today.

That sand sculpture is awesome, and do not worry I too during winter when it gets bitterly color slip back to share some walks from warmer times :)

Thanks for joining the Wednesday, I always love seeing all the walks shared from around the world, but as I am not getting out for as many walks at the moment because of feeling the cold I am especially loving the walks all around the world its like a virtual world tour

Ha ha, I'm glad you can put yourself in my shoes and approve of what I'm doing. 😊 I'm really at a dead end here. Physically, mentally and everything. And I have a great need for warm walks!

You and me both trust me :)

Thank you for warming our hearts with these beach photos. The cats contributed too. Love the sand sculpture. I wish I can be by the beach right around now. LOL! An advance happy holidays to you and family. Have a wonderful celebration!

It's very easy to show summer photos in the summer when they are in abundance. 😄 So I decided to save them for the winter when we all need them the most.
I'm glad you liked them!

I love your idea of sharing photos from summer in the depths of winter! I imagine people in colder climates rather enjoy that! I very much appreciated it as well, though I live in far East Big Island, Hawai'i, so winter is not really a thing here, other than shorter days, the sun being lower in the sky, more rain, and a bit cooler at night! Early Merry Christmas! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Merry Christmas! And here we can only pray that summer will come faster 🎅🎄🌡️😱

It was a dream, until I made it happen! I'm deeply grateful to be able to live where and how I do! I hope that you stay cozy and warm! Happy Christmas Eve! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Hi there, @soulsdetour. 😃 These sand arts are amazing! Whoever made them is very creative but sadly, it would be wiped away either by water or a person.

You had an interesting Wednesday walk. Sorry, the cold is freezing. Its warm in my country and I wish it could be a little cold but not freezing. 🤣

That bunker is colourful. Very bluish. I enjoyed this walk with you. Thanks for sharing. 😊😊🤗

Everyone is looking for what they don't have, of course. 😃 I'm forever looking for a summer. I have no desire to live in a country where it is very cold for about half the year, but what can be done. 😱🌡️😓
The bunker is painted to resemble the seabed, because it is located near the sea. There is quite a symbolic intent in the artists who decided to reimagine it in such a creative way.
Glad you liked my walk 😊 Thank you for stopping by!
