EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the water mills at Bukovo, near Bitola, Macedonia, circa 1910s. Nestled in a picturesque ravine, these historic watermills stand as a testament to the region's rich agricultural heritage. The crystal-clear stream, cascading gently over the hillside, once powered the millstones that ground grain for the local community. Oxen, harnessed to carts, are shown making their way along the narrow path, bringing supplies to the mills or transporting the freshly ground flour to nearby villages. The mills, with their distinctive conical roofs, blend seamlessly into the rugged landscape, their timber frames weathered by the elements. Bitola, formerly known as Monastir or Manastir, was a significant town during the WW1 era. This area, located in the southern part of Macedonia, was a melting pot of diverse cultures, including Albanian, Turkish, and Slavic. The watermills at Bukovo played a crucial role in the daily lives of the residents, providing essential resources for their subsistence. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a simpler way of life that once thrived in this beautiful region. The watermills at Bukovo serve as a reminder of the area's rich history and the resilient spirit of the people who lived there.
