Dancers; the festival of the sound of bazaar, Skopje, Macedonia, September 2010

Coincidently, when I arrived in Skopje and crossed the Stone Bridge arriving at the old town, the festival of the sound of bazaar was begun; here are members of a dance group.
The festival is aimed at promoting the cultural heritage of Skopje’s old bazaar, located in the Ottoman part of the city.
