Travelling Tales

A few weeks ago a friend and I were travelling once again in the former east. The picture on the left was taken on the border area of Bulgaria and Turkey.
The picture shows a gun emplacement featuring the turret of a wartime Russian tank which is fitted into a concrete bunker. The bunkers were built in about 1948 as part of the iron curtain initiative.

This gun emplacement was not too far from a road which lead to Turkey and was one of five which we could see making a line defence up to a hill.
