Water-related

It's been a hot summer, so I am ending the month of August with a water-related post. Going clockwise from the top left: a statue in New Belgrade; a small artwork called "The Sava and the Danube" (two rivers kissing!); a mermaid (though I think those look like feathers...) door handle; and one of the fountains on Belgrade's Bohemian District, Skadarlija.

Great collage of photos, Bibi! The top left almost looks like two people at a water fountain each putting their thumbs over the spout. Sorry, but it has been a crazy day!

The lower right one has the beautiful colors created by nature -- what a perfect turquoise!

These are all very interesting water related sculptures. I like the rivers kissing best.

It's cooling off like fall around here.

Where we are at in Michigan, It has been over 80 all but 10 days this summer. Last year, one day! I will be happy to see Fall arrive.

The weather pattern has been interesting this summer - the midwest, eastern U.S. and much of Europe has had an exceptionally hot summer, but the west coast of the U.S. has been exceptionally cool. Fruit crops have been retarded in their ripening by the cool weather.
