EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the picturesque village of Vodena, nestled in the heart of Macedonia during the 1910s. The quaint, traditional houses with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls are clustered around the crystal-clear waters of Lake Vodena, reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. The village, also known as the "Macedonian Venice," is situated in the eastern part of the country, near the border with Bulgaria. The serene scene portrayed in this image belies the rich history and cultural significance of Vodena. The village has been inhabited since ancient times, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Roman era. Throughout the centuries, it has been ruled by various empires, including the Byzantines, Bulgarians, and Ottomans, each leaving their mark on the village's architecture and traditions. The lake itself is a natural wonder, formed by a meteorite impact over 5,000 years ago. It is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, who come to enjoy its crystal-clear waters, stunning beauty, and the peaceful atmosphere that has endured through the ages. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a window into a time when life was simpler, and the natural beauty of the world was cherished and preserved. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural and historical heritage, and the role that villages like Vodena play in shaping the identity of their communities and countries.
