Indifferent rain over Skopje

"It does not care about the 6000-year-old human history of Skopje. It does not care what language is spoken or what religion is practised. It cares not if it is wanted or shunned, if it drenches the crops or is too little to quench the thirst of livestock. It falls on the rich and the poor and sometimes not at all.

"I chose the recording of backyard rain by Toni Dimitrov because it sounds like any rain. I chose it because it is a particular rain. I chose it because once it rained over Skopje in North Macedonia. A place on earth that have had many rulers, none of which could rule the rain."
