Playful and contemplative sculptures spotted in a Sofia park

The image depicts a stone fountain in a park, with a sculpture of a seated bear atop a cylindrical pedestal. Five penguin sculptures are arranged around the pedestal. A child's hand, wearing an orange sleeve, is visible reaching towards a water tap on the fountain. In the background, a pathway leads up a grassy hill towards a large monument, possibly the Monument of the Soviet Army, located in Sofia, Bulgaria. The park setting is characterized by lush green trees and lawns, with a path and dry grass visible. The sky is clear and blue, suggesting a sunny day.

The image depicts a bronze sculpture of two figures, likely an adult and a child, seated together and reading. The figures are rendered in a dark, weathered bronze with visible patina. The adult figure is seated, wearing a long, draped garment, and appears to be holding and looking down at an open book. The child figure is standing behind and slightly to the side of the adult, leaning forward and also looking at the book. The sculpture is mounted on a multi-tiered stone pedestal, which is itself placed on a grassy area. The background consists of trees and a clear blue sky, suggesting an outdoor park or public garden setting. The sculpture is located in the Borisova Garden in Sofia, Bulgaria. The overall scene is a peaceful, sunlit day.
