Bulgaria in July: Music, Mountains, and Monasteries

This July I traveled to Bulgaria for a highlight I’d been waiting for: Dream Theater in Plovdiv, performing at the Roman amphitheatre. Ancient stone, warm night air, and that powerful sound—an unforgettable combination.

Around the concert, I took my camera and explored more of the country. I photographed waterfalls and mountain landscapes, and visited monasteries where the atmosphere feels quiet and timeless. It was the kind of trip that naturally shifts between energy and calm—one moment loud and electric, the next peaceful and reflective.

I came home with photos I’m proud of.
