A friend just returned from a folk dance festival in Bulgaria and one of the photos she took of an art piece had the following sign on it. She knows the first word means "no" but the rest is a mystery. My bet is that it prohibits flash photography.

No camel parking here.

Park them under the daffodil tree.

For what it's worth.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_alphabet

The internet says: "Do not touch the hand icon!" then "Do not place money and objects on them!"

Edit . . I think the first phrase is actually, "Do not touch the icons by hand!" . . it's probably a worship icon of some kind.

Thanks Peter. What site did you use to translate a photo of Bulgarian writing into English?

And you're spot on - here's the rest of the photo:

Hi Mike, It was a two-stepper: first a virtual cyrillic keyboard website and then copy the results to google to translate . . et voila!

Very clever. I'm going to give it a try on my desktop, but not right now on this etch-a-sketch. Hard enough to type on a virtual English keyboard.

Thanks.
