[OM] Nathan's PAD 12/6/2018: four more from Sofia

Today was a day of work, from around 8:30 to 5:30, so it was less picture-rich 
than usual (although I did take quite a few in the evening also). These four 
were taken during the working day.

I walked from my hotel to the conference venue, around 1.5 km and a pleasant 
walk in the morning. But first I stopped to light a candle for my mother in the 
Orthodox church next to my hotel. As is apparent from the scarcity of 
chairs/pews, during Orthodox services the congregation stands:

I then spent all day in a conference room at the National Palace of Culture. 
Afterwards, I photographed this scene on the square outside. Boys will be boys:

It was close to 30C and humid, and I was wearing a suit, so rather than walking 
back to the hotel, I took the metro, just one stop. When I got off at Serdika, 
the main station in the Sofia metro system (because the two metro lines built 
so far cross here), I photographed the afternoon crowd. And then a girl on the 
edge of frame turned to me and smiled. She is out of focus, and the picture is 
technically deficient, but I still like it:

And then a picture that made me sad and maybe less sad at the same time. When I 
was in Sofia in February, I noticed a poor homeless dog outside the Serdika 
metro station, looking around. It was cold and I felt so sorry for the poor 
creature, but what could I do? The next day I noticed that the dog was sleeping 
inside the station, in a quiet corner next to a pharmacy, and there was a bowl 
of water—so clearly someone there was looking after it. And today, I saw the 
same dog sleeping in exactly the same spot:

I wish I could take him with me to Alicante when I go home tomorrow very early 
in the morning…but of course I can’t. At least there are some good people at 
this metro station, evidently.

Cheers,
Nathan
