Where the King Watches Over His Village

At first, this image from Kocani in North Macedonia doesn't strike you as too out-of-the-ordinary. After all, plenty of people have chairs on their roofs. But the more you think about the logistics, the more absurd it becomes. First, that looks like a pretty heavy armchair, so how did they get it up there? By crane? Second, there's no way that flimsy, already-buckling corrugated iron can support the chair's weight.

Weird Google Earth

And last but not least, while the view from up there might be nice, gingerly walking across an unsafe roof to sit in an armchair sounds like the opposite of a relaxing time getting sunkissed.
