A snail is pictured at a snail farm near the town of Pleven, some 160km (100miles) north-east of Sofia August 21, 2009. On a quiet patch of land apparently devoid of inhabitants, Krasimir Kostov's farm is silently booming as more than one million snails, hiding from the sun under planks of wood, munch their way to market.
