The Red Balloon...and The Blue Balloon...and The Yellow Balloon....

No, this is not a scene from the end of Albert Lamorisse's 1956 classic The Red Balloon, but rather a recent sighting in the Belgrade sky. Just happened to look up and there they were, floating free, off to who knows where.

JUDAS TREE

  This is a Judas Tree, thus named because it is said to be the type of tree from which Judas Iscariot hanged himself after betraying Christ...
