The ancient mirror
It was as if I had gone out to hunt reflections that day.
And I just wanted to visit a cultural and historical monument - an ancient sharapana. 
So what you see in front of you, the water and the reflections in it are not just reflections in a puddle. These are reflections in the water in a very ancient monument, a rock hewn vessel for wine production, a ritual stone of the ancient and mystical Thracians. I hope you have heard of Orpheus, the wine god Dionysius, etc. 
So, to some extent, these are sacred and mystical, very ancient reflections that have gathered a 2800-year history. Imagine going somewhere (here) and looking in a 2800-year-old mirror. It's amazing, isn't it! 
And these two reflections - of the car of three young women we met in this place, in a puddle, are a bonus. 
This is now a simple reflection of a car in a puddle. Although, who knows? 😉

Wow thank you for sharing about this fascinating place. Ancient places are truly interesting. I'd definitely love to visit more of them. Have a wonderful week ahead!

Ancient places definitely carry a specific energy. They have accumulated so much experience and wisdom within themselves, they have seen so many things, so many lives have passed by them. It is impossible for a person to ignore this, finding themselves in such a place. One can only feel awe and respect, to pay homage.
A wonderful new week to you too! 🤗
