It's SPRINGTIME in Skopje...!

i'm tired of dwelling on the news... it's nearly 5 p.m. on the friday before easter... the sun has been shining all day here in skopje and it's a GLORIOUS spring afternoon... the flowering trees are breathtaking and, after i snapped a photo of the apple blossoms right off the little terrace outside the project office and was downloading it to the computer, i found another one that i took wednesday afternoon at the frankfurt airport... i'm kind of a nut about plane-spotting and when there's a foreign carrier i haven't seen before, well, i simply MUST take a picture...
