Restoration work on the 11th century Sveta Sofija church in Ohrid, regarded as the finest of several Byzantine churches in this city in western Macedonia.
Another view of the church can be seen in a workshop.

Hej Gert,
An interesting picture in many ways. A beautiful background landscape, an interesting building and some nice and eye-catching colours. But I definitely don´t think that this scaffolding would have been approved by some Swedish Work Inspection authoriy. Don´t they have any safety representatives here?

Hej Gert,
a very fine church with many details, and as a scaffolder i agree with Gunnar: This scaffolding is not OK ! It`s interesting to see the daily life of these men. I wonder if the work for different companies? 2 men in yellow and 2 men in blue..
A great daily life shot, Tfs!
Ha en trevlig Söndag.

Hi, So they are really working here. Typical architecture of the Balkanian orthodox church. It is quite dangerous work - an accident can easily happen. Nice colours.

Regards

Hi Gert,
I like very much the Byzantine architecture, it is so unique.
For now being under construction though this is a nice documentary from renovation.
Very good POV.

Hi Gert,
Sounds like a song your title, maybe I was thinking "The Yellow Brick Road.." by Elton John.
Another very nice daily life image of the construction worker laying the roof tiles. I This are not easy to do, and I try it, they break easily, especially if you have to go in the middle to fix one, you break a few a long the way. The guys in the yellow shirt do stand out very well, and there is a very friendly one too. thanks.

Great witness from Ohrid, Gert, the region that I know well. Your travel on the South is so worth with your Canon and with all your pictures from Albania, Macedonia or Serbia.

Near by Ohrid, on the mountains there are so attractive villages with archaic situations. Next time don't miss them.

Felicitations and friendship for you,

Branko

Hej Gert,
Great pov here displaying the hight and the beautiful surrondings in Ohrid. A new roof is a good start but it seems that they have a lot of work to complete the restauration..
