This lovely river runs alongside the road as we drove to Stoykite in Bulgaria.
If anyone recognizes this location and mountain, I would love to get more information :)

Helleborus cyclophyllus is a flowering perennial native to Albania, Greece, and Bulgaria.
It is acaulescent, meaning it lacks a stem with leaves, instead sending up a leafless flower stalk. The green leaves are palmate and basal, spreading at the ground. The flowers are green to yellow-green and 2 to 3 inches in diameter.

Blue hour in Tryavna, Bulgaria. The place is deserted for whatever reason, probably economic, I did not clone any people out, nor did I wait for anyone to walk past.
A few days ago I claimed that I uploaded one photo from every country I visited during the last trip, but I completely forgot about Bulgaria. Therefore voila! Situation rectified.

The Monastery of Saint Ivan of Rila, better known as the Rila Monastery (Bulgarian: Рилски манастир, Rilski manastir) is the largest and most famous Eastern Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria. It is situated in the southwestern Rila Mountains, 117 km (73 mi) south of the capital Sofia in the deep valley of the Rilska River at an elevation of 1,147 m (3,763 ft) above sea level, inside of Rila Monastery Nature Park. The monastery is named after its founder, the hermit Ivan of Rila (876 - 946 AD), and today houses around 60 monks.
Founded in the 10th century, the Rila Monastery is regarded as one of Bulgaria's most important cultural, historical and architectural monuments and is a key tourist attraction for both Bulgaria and Southern Europe.
