Mother Teresa Memorial

A small chapel in the Mother Teresa Memorial. She was born here, in Skopje, under Albanian rule. Many things in Skopje are named after her, even a highway. Wonder what she might have thought about it... I was very lucky to have met her in the 80es.
 

Alex

This is Alex. He used to be the king of Macedon. They called him Μέγας Αλέξανδρος, Alexander the great. He traveled a lot.  His enormous statue is on the main square of Skopje, North Macedonia.

Looks like winter...

Well, it ain't. It's summer, but most leaves have fallen off, due to 4 heatwaves, and the worst drought in centuries.
 

Mural in the making

Seen in Barcelona a few years ago, during a festival. More Monday Murals right...here.

A new trend?

Neustadt

The Neustadt (German for new town) is a UNESCO World Heritage site, built by Germans late 19th, early 20th century. A mixture of various architectural styles. More info here.
 

19 doors

19, the number of doors at the protestant St Paul church. Why 19? The church was built between 1892 and 1897, during German occupation. A door for each of the German army ranks, plus one for the emperor. Don't use the wrong one!
