Ohrid Old Town Hillside

Terracotta rooftops tumble down the hillside in warm waves of rust and amber, half-swallowed by a dense surge of deep green foliage. The view looks across Ohrid Old Town from a slightly elevated vantage, where white-walled houses with wide bay windows and generous balconies stack against one another in cheerful disorder. Tall, dark trees punctuate the scene like exclamation marks, and a slender tower rises above the roofline on the left, pale against a softly diffused sky. In the distance, the lake opens up in cool silver-blue, the far mountains dissolving into haze where water meets cloud. The whole composition hums with the contrast between that vivid, almost lush greenery and the warm glow of the tiled roofs pressing through it.
