Small differences not.
A full day of travel so there were many prospects for my image of the day. Cloud formations cleared as we arrived over Mount Vitosha and the day closed with a wasp's nest in the kitchen window casing, apparent only when we switched the lights on. This is a coach window view of the land of forest and mountains. A vast and magnificent country with high mountain and spreading plains generally in the same frame. There is an abundance of sunflowers now looking as baked as the earth below them. Bulgaria (2015) has a population of 7,364,570 people and a population density of 66.2/km2/ 171/sq mile (1).
25.08.15. Wednesday: temperatures above 35C. Light precipitation on nightfall. Unusual given that the region had only a few days of rain after a period of 11 dry weeks. A real joy to hear the crickets again as we sit on the porch. Share a fallen apple from the tree. Botanics: all except my young lemon tree have endured.
(1) Some other stats according to wikipedia: England: 407/km2/ 1,054.1/sq miles. UK: 255.6/km2/ 661.9/sq miles. Germany: 226/km2 (58th) 583/sq miles. India: 384.2/km2 (31st) 995.1/sq miles. State of Palestine: 731/km2/ 1,895/sq miles. This might explain why so many Britains repatriate in Bulgaria. One final statistic: Greater London: Population - 8,630,000... density 14,200/sq mi (5,490/km2). Kensington and Chelsea13,016 per km². Hong Kong: 6,690km², and Kwun Tong, with 57,250 persons per km², Clearly good planning system and infrastructure are imperative but many people want and need to live in high density areas. High densities can support great infrastructure if planning is functioning.
