Hotel in Hurghada, Egypt.

This is the season for resolutions.

Over the last year I’ve been re-evaluating my backup solutions.

It’s increasingly obvious to me that a good backup policy is essential.

Still, what’s the best way fitting my workflow for now and in the future?

The Statue of Sofia.

Description:

It’s clearly not Lenin.

Some years ago a statue of Lenin faced the facade of the Communist Party headquarters in central Sofia.

That building now houses administrative offices for the new parliamentarians.

And there’s a new statue.

This statue often called Saint Sofia dates from 2001 and was designed and built by Georgi Chapkanov and Stanislav Konstantinov. its tall pillar is symbolic of new growth.

And here is the cause of the new controversy.

There are probably people who prefer Lenin.

There are certainly people who just don’t like the statue.

And then there’s the church.

The Orthodox church objects to the popular name of Saint Sofia.

There was of course, a Saint Sofia.

However this statue is clearly in female form and adorned with pagan symbols.
