Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

The Balloon Clown
Did you ever wish you were a clown? As a child, I did, but now I'm not so sure. I still enjoy watching clowns, especially this kind, the ones who make those fancy creations out of balloons. I wonder what he's writing...sketching a new design? Making his grocery list?
What do you think?

A beautiful urban sunset over New Belgrade. The 'smoke' from the stacks on the left is actually just steam from the heating plant....

Lovely shot although once again (I mean in life) it looks like a sad clown.
I'm loving his pants! Maybe he's writing impressions of colors he's seen today to include in his next pair? He does look kind of sad. Perhaps balloon sales were not going well and he is tallying up his earnings for the day. Or a love letter to his girl who just jilted him begging for forgiveness?
I thought he's cross-wording...
:D
Very interesting, Bibi. There are multiple interpretations to this image.
What a great colorful image Bibi. I love this . The fact that he's looking away from the camera is even better!

I too dreamed of being a clown. This is such a bright and colorful scene. Maybe a "to do" list?
un clown plein de couleur, mais il fait "clown triste"
Great shot, Bibi—especially as you caught him "off-duty." Don't know about that tie, but I'd wear the jacket in a heartbeat!
Wow, the color on that one is amazing. Love his nose.
He looks sort of sad .. I bet he's checking to see if his horse won ..
I've often thought clowns were rather sad people trying to find happiness in making others laugh...
I think he's writing a farewell note to his girlfriend with whom he's breaking up after a long relationship. And he wants his ring back.
What a super photo! It's a great portrait and the colors are just stunning!
It looks to me like he has a little smile. I bet he's making a list of things to do.
Most of the time clowns are cute & funny and make me laugh. Sometimes though they can be a little creepy.
Re your banner flowers Bibi, yes they do look like Forget Me Nots. I love them & of course you captured them beautifully!
I love all the colours in this shot. Really vibrant!
Really neat photo. You couldn't make it more colorful if you posed it.

So much color! He looked a bit sad to me too, but now I think I see a little smile too. Can't be a romantic note, he'd be texting that.
These people are so talented blowing up balloons in a record time and shaping them into figures. I even can hear the noise in my ear of the balloons being stretched!
Woooow, what a blaze of colour. Sometimes I think clowns are sad - well it's the way they paint their mouths of course. He's making his grocery list!
Reminds me of Thomas the Balloon Man at the market ... similar outfits -:)
I love clowns but those balloons they make into small animals i could do without.
