Our Indian summer weather has disappeared....I've been home with a cold, cough, and laryngitis for two days... It's cold and windy out there. This photo was taken when the clouds were still white, but with a hint of menace in them.In this photo you see one of Kalemegdan Park fortress's walls. Kalemegdan is the most popular park for Belgraders and for many tourists because of its numerous winding walking paths, shady benches, picturesque fountains, statues, historical architecture and incredible river views (Sava and Danube.) The former canal which was used for water supply during the Middle Ages is completely covered. Kalemegdan is also known for its lemgthy long lagums, underground corridors and catacombs, which are still largely unexplored.

I love the different tones in your sky.
The beauty of the sky is the richness of the blue, the richness of gray clouds...and this is a beauty. Great fortress too. Have a nice weekend.
SWF is here: beginning of darkness
a lovel capture bibi. like the puffiness of the clouds over the castle.
wonder if there are skeletal remains in the catacombs?

Beautiful photo! (As always) We just went straight into an early Winter from a very short Fall over here. So enjoy those quite nice skies.
A very intriguing scene. The fortress and the darkening clouds is a great shot.
Incredible photo! Enchanting and fun! Thanks for such an intriguing visual and explanation- Have a great day-
Amazing historic buildings there.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
Hoping you feel better soon.
Sweet memories at Kalemegdan overlooking the lions from the café but I presume the zoo is no more (?)
That looks like a really neat place to explore. The sky is a perfect match for the fortresses. Ever since I was a boy fortress and castles have fascinated me.
Great picture.
Aww! poor Bibi! I do hope you are better quickly. I had the same thing a few weeks ago and it lasted two weeks. I couldn't speak for two days. Hopefully yours won't be like that. Eat lots of honey if you can & drink lots of fluids.
I LOVE this photo, it really is quite stunning. The color blue in your sky has to be my favorite color! & the stone color is so pretty as well with a serene quality about it. Well done Bibi.
Feel better soon.
; )
Magnificent landscape, thanks for sharing
Bibi, sorry to hear you're still under the weather.
This is a wonderful old structure. I find it amazing that many of the underground corridors are still unexplored. Why not?
Hi Bibi - I hope you feel better soon! I love this photo. It would make a great location for a movie!

Sounds like an interesting place. Take care of that cold.
it seems to be a very special place, i love this historical places. the blue colors on the clouds made a nice contrast with the buildings.
Sounds like a fabulous place to explore!
I'm sorry to hear you've been sick. That's the part I most hate about wet and cold weather. I hope you feel better real soon!
Love the way you captured the couple framed in the arched opening. (But I think everything aboutl your photos is wonderful.) Here in NYC, it feels like we've gone from autumn to winter in a matter of hours. Feel better!
Timeless beauty, wonderful photograph. with the figures it is reminiscent of master painters.
hope you feel better soon.
This is a very cool looking place.
