Traces of the past


Belgrade's face bears the traces of its history, just as wrinkles on our faces reveal much about our lives. Though proud of its past, it's apparent from building and renovation going on all over that the city wants to give itself a face lift, a little nip/tuck here and there. In this photo you can see three different styles. Modern may be functional and slick, but I still like the detail that used to be given to facades, and the flowers that were added here as a bit of "make-up."

REACHIING FOR THE SUN

This sunflower in the unkempt yard of an abandoned-doomed-for-demolition building makes one last stab at reaching for the sun.
