The small town of Shumen is located in the north-east of the country and has around 9700 inhabitants. It may be a small town, but an important and artistically impressive memorandum was erected here in 1981. A huge sculputer complex in honor of „1300 years of Bulgaria“ or also titled „Founder of the Bulgarian State“. The oversized monument in a cubic construction was erected on a plateau above the city and designed by the Bulgarian sculptors KRUM DAMYANOV and IVAN SLAVOV. These great photos of urban art were taken by the world explorers Thomas Adventurer and Diana Beekvelt, also known as NOMADS ON WHEELS. They have been traveling around Europe with their van at that time. The two are continously travelling the world with a strong committment to nature and environmental protection, which they try to get more attention to in their postings. They inform about interesting places and they clean up those locations. That’s how you should visit a place! And they document all of these actions on their homepage, Instagram, Facebook and Youtube to show the beautiful countries and at the same time to motivate to be active for environmental issues. It’s definitely worth taking a look!
