The Old Bazaar, Skopje, Macedonia

Another postcard from the swap with Anja, and another one showing the Old Bazaar.



I don't really have anything to add here, I'd just like to say again that the architecture looks so cool, these pictures make me think of lazy days and old times when you didn't have to worry about all the modern crap.



The stamp is from a set of 4 (+1 mini sheet) issued in 1999 under the title of "Cultural Heritage" and they all portray different icons. This one shows an icon of Jesus Christ from the monastery Preobrazenie (Преображение) in Zrze, which is around 30 km away from the city of Prilep.
