Lake Ohrid in wintertime, January 2009

Originally uploaded by plepe

There’s a picture of Lake Ohrid (Ohrid, Macedonia/FYROM). Usually you are supposed to see the mountains over the Albanian border, but as it started snowing that day (January 3rd, 2009), it was totally foggy.
It’s not very common to have snow in Ohrid, according to people we talked to the time when it snowed last time ranged between three or ten years.
But it was a very calm and relaxed atmosphere, the birds with their cries, the sound of the water, and not much more.

Maruska, the car-girl on an old Zastava

The nice girl which is leaning on this old car is Maruska, my travel mate from Czech Republic who was doing some kind of exchange in Bulgaria too.
The car is an old Zastava, from a Serbian car factory. The picture depicts either a Zastava 750 or 850, which were produced between 1955 and 1985 and are still very popular in the former Yugoslav countries. This particular picture was taken in Ohrid (OH), in the south-west of Macedonia (FYROM) on January 2nd, 2009.
