MY IMPRESSIONS AND IMAGES OF THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE…

Few months ago I travelled to North Macedonia with a small group of photographers and spent a week doing what I like the best. Travelling, photographing, eating the most delicious food and drinking fantastic wine, all in the company of amazing people who share the same interests. To say that I had a great time would be an understatement! 

I already posted one blog post from this trip to Macedonia, more specifically about our visit to Pelister National Park so if you missed it and want to see some images of beautiful nature, forests and incredible horses in the fog, you can check it out here: http://www.travellingoven.com/2021/10/pelister-national-park-macedonia/. In that post I also highly recommend the photography tours agency that I used for several of my trips already. So if that is something you are interested, make sure to check out their website: https://www.esenkoworkshops.com and to find out why I recommend them, see my previous blog post linked above. 😀
