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

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.

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!
