Purple Rain?
Not sure this is what Prince had in mind when he wrote Purple Rain, but there's not an umbrella in sight here. These balls are part of an advertisement for Komercijalna Banka, a Serbian bank founded in 1970, with 251 branches all over the country.

My apologies, Pat. I do know the difference when it comes to pedigrees. A dog isn't just a dog :)
No problem, Chuck. Woof. We're all out to get you acquainted with Belgrade!

Hello Bibi ,
Who sang "Purple Rain" Not only Prince...
Neverpind, your photo is very cute, like Your explain...
Nice W.E Bibi !
Prince wrote it, but others have for sure sung it. And then there was Purple Haze...
Great capture Bibi!
Looks like there's been some confusion due to our doggie user-photos!
Those stickers in the window do make a really neat effect!
Woooooooooow cool shot! Who knew that taking a picture of stickers would turn out so nifty!
I thought you'd been playing with photoshop! This is a great photo. Good trick of the eye :)
my kids used to walk round the house singing purple rain.... this is marvellous, is this your skywatch friday shot too?
