Bulgaria trip — renewable energy

After leaving the Bansko region my family and I headed for the Black sea coast. The trip from the southwest corner of Bulgaria (where Bansko is located) to Nessebar (on the Black Sea coast) took about 7 hours of driving. It was an interesting drive - going through mountains, passing through mountain villages and observing life. You can see some photos here:

But the most interesting site probably was this –> energy generating wind farm located right next to a roadside gas station on one of the highways on the way to the Black Sea cost. During our drive through Bulgaria we saw a large number of these wind farms — obviously a number of investors believe in “green energy” — a nice thought and a very progressive step for a country which has a significant revenue generating tourism industry.
