A Yankee-in-Belgrade
Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

TWO SHAVED HEADS
I was attracted first by the hairdo on the woman in the foreground, but when I looked more closely after taking the shot, there's another shaved head person walking away. Click and view this photo. She' got tattoos and lots of rings, too.

ON THE PHONE
On the phone....and who isn't these days? This elegant gentleman is engrossed in a conversation, but at least seems to watch where he's going. The lady in the background is checking her phone, too. I am guilty from time to time, but never walk while on the phone.

DARN GROUNDHOG
There is no custom here of a groundhog seeing its shadow on February 2, most likely because the groundhog is a North American animal. Be that as it may, in Pennsylvania Punxutawney Phil, the town's resident groundhog did indeed see his shadow. Seems like he's working internationally now for yesterday we got more snow.

LAST EVENING'S SUNSET
I guess I should call this 'Essence of Sunset, ' since the sun itself is out of view. Its lovely colors filtered through my curtains.
YORKIE DRESSED TO THE NINES
This little fellow was dressed for a photo shoot, haha, and he had his hair done, too. I looked up the expression 'dressed to the nines,' and couldn't find its exact origin, though most sites point to Scotland.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Remember lovle locks? Around the world they were tokens of couples' love for each other, but soon became a pain in the fence for cities. Most were taken away along with the fences that had to be replaced = $$$.
I saw this one lonely heart on a fence in Kalemegdan Park....Not sure how long it's been there, but it's all alone.....
Like other holidays, Valentine's Day is familiar to most Serbs and kitchy love junk is hawked here, too.

THE SOCK SELLER
I took this photo last Monday at the open market. Open markets are notoriously empty on Mondays, but this fellow thought he'd give it a go. Not sure he had a lot of business, but he did help me out with a photo.

MARKET ART?
I can across this 'piece of art' on a wall at a nearby open market. I am wondering if it was intentional or not.

RED TRANSPORTATION
"That's a real cherry bike," they would have said in admiration when I was in high school. Indeed it is bright cherry-red like the bus in the background. I was rather surprised to see a red bus, because most now have been painted blue.

MONDAY MURALS ---STILL NOTHING....
I think I have photographed this area in the large park next to government building quite a while ago. It appears that something was started there, but never finished, and probably won't be. Someone took advantage of the wall for a mural.
See other murals on MONDAY MURALS.
