Veliko Tarnovo – the city with a history of more than five millennia

This post wouldn’t come alive if my friend from wordpress – Dan – wouldn’t offer me a deal to post some photos of this beautiful historical town in Bulgaria. So we did a deal – I will post some photos from my archive and he will post some as well. I like challenges so why not?

You can check his photos here

Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria 
Beautiful town with rich history. I have been there in 2010 and 2011 and I was told Veliko Tarnovo was the historical capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire.
Since I love history, castles and castle ruins it was a pleasure for me to take a walk through this beautiful town.

Few facts about Veliko Tarnovo (Велико Търново)
* one of the oldest settlements in Bulgaria, with a history of more than five millennia
*the first traces of human presence, dating from the 3rd millennium BC, were discovered on Trapezitsa Hill
*is often referred to as the “City of the Tsars”
* the city was built on three hills: Tsarevets, Trapezitsa and Sveta Gora
*city with unique architecture
*home of two major universities
*foremost educational and cultural center

New Year – New Challenges

My dear friends, bloggers, readers

last year I entered a lot of photo and some writing challenges and I enjoyed each one. Some themes were really challenging, other ones more relaxing and funny.
For a good while I was playing in my mind with an idea to create an “own” challenge or challenges.
This afternoon I came finally up with the challenges and I would love to introduce them to all of you.

1) Weekly Photo Challenge – From ordinary to artistic
2) Weekly Photo Challenge – From Above
3) Monthly Drawing/Painting Challenge – Feelings (it doesn’t matter if you’re good at painting or drawing or not, just express yourself. And if you feel like expressing with a photo, go right ahead)

All challenges will have weekly/monthly  prompts and here are the common rules:

1. Create a new post with the title of the challenge you would love to participate in
2. Add photos, drawings, paintings and feel free to add also a few words if you feel so
3. Paste the link of your post to the comments so the other bloggers can find your link, visit your blog, leave comments, interact by any way
4. If you wish to get notifications about new prompts don’t forget to follow me ☺

Are you studying the Bible or just reading it? God doesn’t want us to just skim His Word…He wants us to meditate on it…to allow it to change us from the inside out. That’s why I’m issuing this challenge: to study God’s Word for 30 minutes a day for 30 days. I’m confident this will help you develop a habit of studying the Bible and discover the impact it can make on your life. Give God 30 days and see what happens.
