Images 22 - North Macedonia and Serbia
Entering North Macedonia... again
Shaded street in Skopje's Ottoman quarter
The courtyard of the 'Sunken Church', Skopje - and a welcome bit of shade
The 'Sunken Church' - a Macedonian Orthodox church built in the 16th century, when Ottoman rule decreed that all churches must be shorter than mosques
Street porter, Skopje
Walking into Skopje's newer centre - and greeted by this colossus...
...which, like all its neighbours, was built in the last 15 years
One of many Neo-classical monsters in Skopje - the road and the benches give some idea of the scale
Admiring the North Macedonian flag - it's pretty cool, in fairness
The cascades off this one create their own mist...
...like an outdoor air-conditioning system...
...which is much enjoyed by everyone
The old 'Stone Bridge', Skopje, now dwarfed by everything else
Admiring another modern ego-trip...
...this one well over six storeys high
Back in Serbia, sunflowers make up for the nondescript scenery...
...there's little else to look at on this motorway...
...so we took more photos of sunflowers
Stopping for a picnic lunch outside Nis and roasting, despite the shade of a walnut tree
Rural Serbia...
...hasn't changed a lot in 50 years...
...unlike in Kosovo, no-one's invaded and burned it all down
