We’re back to Tsar Samuel’s Fortress, at the top of a lovely hill overlooking Ohrid City. The passage of time is evident in the nature of this building, and in the fact that it’s nearly two months since I first showed you this lovely location and well over a month since I returned to my regular work life in A’dam. The photos we showed in that prior post came from our first visit, when the fortress was closed. As you’ll see, on the day we could go in, the weather was a good deal moodier :-).
On Monday, Steve and I saw these lovely snapdragons growing in (the town of) Ohrid’s ancient amphitheater. When the Romans gained control of this region – so the sign tells us – they remodeled the amphitheater for gladiatorial and big-animal spectacles, instead of the classical dramas one assumes were mainstays during the Hellenistic period.
(so much world, so little time....)
