Actually when someone says "commie block" here in Macedonia we think of those pre-90s buildings which all look the same and are arranged in a strict order. In other words they reflect the communist mentality. That's why I said that commie = communist.
I've seen beautiful blocks of residential buildings with expensive apartments and nobody calls THEM "commie blocks".

Good stuff dewrob :cheers:
I like your idea of taking pics while driving. It shows ordinary life going on.

BTW I climbed a nearby highrise today, to check the visibility and I took a picture while I was at it. Here it is. I hate posting single pictures, but it is a panorama, so Im making an exception :D

yeah but it's better on foot. it's very limited while U drive, U can't shoot the pedestrial zones where there is more movement of people, U can't focus on details, the angles are limited, the bird crap on the windshield is unavoidable, if U slow down for a minute to take a pic some maniac honks and screams behind U.... it was quite stresfull... next time I'm going on foot.

its a great city... of course it has parts wich are less nice, but overall its a great city, and the city center is really nice and tidy... i can agree that the architecture is not experimental or exciting, but it is not a boring city after my opinion. there are a lot of things u can do in skopje :cheers:

actually much of the architecure is experimental and from a professional architectural viewpoint exciting it just comes from a different age, particulary 70s and 80s. Some objects in the city are true masterpieces from that period. The concept however is often not perceived well by the 'regular eye'. But the lack of full implementation of the masterplan contributes to that to a huge extent.
