Astonishing.
Ambitious.
Outlandish.
The sheer size and number of buildings and statues under construction in central Skopje at the moment is nearly unbelievable. There is even a newly inaugurated Holocaust Memorial Center.
The following three photos were taken along the Vardar River (somewhat near the main square) and in these you can see three of the buildings that are in various states of completion.
This next photo shows a newly erected statue along the Vardar (with a building in progress in the background).
And, finally, if you look behind the two women on the bridge, you should be able to make out a huge pedestal that's being built (to the left of the flag and beneath the green sign on top of the building). I'm not sure who is going to go up there, but I bet it won't be a Macedonian of Albanian descent.
