Serbs love their rakija (RAH-kee-yuh) or brandy, which is usually made from plums, although it can be made from other fruit, such as quince or pears. I photographed a pear here, for it's not the season for plums, and so I couldn't find any for my photo. Here you can see an assortment of rakija glasses and a carafe. The two tall glasses on the left in front of the pear are the most classic ones. Živeli! (ZHEE-veh-lee!) or Cheers!
P.S. I took this photo with my macro lens, my latest piece of 'glass'.

Ziveli to you too. The one lying down reminds me of a cassis glass I had my cassis kir in when last in Montpellier. I like drinks that have their own glass,like belgium beers. This post has a touch of glass.
Ziveli!
Such an interesting and enlightening post. I love the "most classic" glasses.
And of course it reminds me of the korte palinka in Hungary - the same stuff! I like the blue tinted glass over the wood grain here. Very pretty.
A lovely group of glasses and informative too. Just wish I had some to taste...
Perfect theme day post.
Great take on theme day. I too enjoy glasses that are particular to a certain drink. I've got some pastis glasses that are lovely..
Very nice "shot" Bibi!
Glass inside out.
ziveli on this sunday.
I have one of those taller glasses but thought it was a flower vase. Upon closer inspection it says 2 dl on it along with a crown and the numbers 922. Do yours have anything written on them? I see the glass on the right also has a crown. Ziveli!
Pretty glass with added interest of setting one on it's side. Perfect artistic flare. Congrats on buying new glass, (lens).
great interpretation for theme day. Liveli to you. we also say Salud in Arizona.
I like the theme for theme day you adopted. A little alcohol on a snowy Sunday (here) is a great idea. Your new lens takes great images. The enlarged image is so sharp! Good luck with your new toy and take lots of pictures with it.
I like your photo and your tie to local taste ... but most of all I like your "latest piece of glass" ... happy theme day.
a beautiful image
Živio!
:-)
Cheers! I notice the glasses are empty and the bottle is full. What are you waiting for?! Get pouring! Lol :)
love the way you interpreted the theme today!
This is fun to see! Your macro did a nice job on the glass and on that lovely oak grain. So, what saint might that be on the glass to the right? I guess the traditional glasses encourage sipping. The blue glasses make your still life sing. Hope you treated yourself to a little sip after your photo shoot! Enjoy that new lens and hope to see your explorations of its qualities more in days to come.

You've created a wonderful still-life that is not still at all.
And you've got people from all over who now know Ziveli - is that great or what! Zivela!

Guess what was the first thought that came to my mind upon seeing this photo?
It is CHEERS!!! A toast to you, Bibi! Happy Theme Day!
