Last Friday a romantic young Belgrader wanted to do something special for his girlfriend of one year. With the help of a friend who owns a restaurant, he arranged for that friend to set up a small table and two chairs on Branko's Bridge from where this photo was taken. The friend was to serve the surprised young lady and her boyfriend dinner from his restaurant while they both enjoyed a view of the sun setting over the Sava Bridge that you see here. True love never runs smooth, and a concerned motorist called the police when the restaurant owner was setting up the table and chairs, assuming he was going to jump (?). The police put a damper on the boyfriend's plan, but not the romance, and the two lovers + the owner headed to his restaurant. (Sorry for the blur, but despite my having used a tripod, there's a lot of vibration from traffic on Branko's Bridge!)Monday, May 18, 2009

Wow, I think it was a beautiful idea. A bit risky, but it proved her that he'd do anything for her.
Great shot - super colors. Wonderful story. A little blur makes the train go faster!
Terrific shot and ehm... touching story :).... It's very nice to know the story behind the pic, and that's make your photo even more live! You did it so well!
