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

SKYWATCH--pucker up
Everybody, it seems, is doing selfies these days. Except me, who managed to capture this girl's selfie.

Fuzzy
I had to resist the temptation of running my palm over this man's head....it would be so pleasantly fuzzy-feeling, I think.

Beside the market
Belgrade has always had its share of sidewalk sellers, ranging in age from young to old, selling brand-new, slightly-used, or articles recycled from a dumpster. I'm now seeing more and more of these people, and I always browse and will buy some trinket that catches my eye to help them out, even if I pass it on to someone else.
Times are hard.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--across the street
One of the apartments across the way is painted orange inside...makes for lovely nighttime light and a shadow or two....couldn't resist.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--kitty in the window
I was concentrating so hard to get the cat before it hopped away that I never noticed the reflection of the building across the street until I uploaded the photo. Kitty looks a bit wide-eyed.... I think it spotted Bibi, who was with me.

SKYWATCH--taken with my tiny....
Another archived shot; still on the mend. Kalemegan's clock tower, flanked by a flag and a guard house. This was taken with my little Minox Digital Classic Camera that you can read about right here.

Fashion
One from my archives, since my Nasty Bug hasn't allowed me out for long periods to do photos.
This guy strolls in style past mannequins in style....

Better than Bed and Breakfast?
Some of you might think this is a far sight better than bed and breakfast! I like beer, but I'll stick to breakfast instead.

California dreaming....
This little Vespa is definitely doing some California Dreaming....and so am I, especially since I just cannot get rid of my brutish bug that's devastated me for the last couple of weeks. (I finally and belatedly went to the doctor yesterday.....)
Remember the song by the Mamas and Papas?

SKYWATCH--just right
I thought the light was just right behind this pigeon near the clock tower in Kalemegdan Park one morning last week.
It's gone fall-ish on us, but it's about time!

She saw me....
Try as I may, occasionally I get spotted taking a hip shot. I played stupid (not hard), and went about my business, so this young girl with the gorgeous hair didn't say anything.
Dog didn't mind either.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"R" is for "race"
These kids were part of a school group being photographed by their teacher in Kalemegdan Park near the military museum.
Oblivious to the tanks and certainly not even thinking of who is what color and from where, they're happily waving.
No matter what race we are, we're all the same.

Dunno who or why
Not sure who this man is or why he's dressed like this. I've seen him a couple of times, either on his bike or walking, sometimes dressed in an orthodox priest's robe. Maybe I should stop him and get his story....

Hotel Majestic
One of those shots that would have been really good if it were not blurred, but in some way looks just fine like this.
Man in a Hat in Hotel Majestic, Belgrade.

Shadow Shot Sunday
An old man suns himself in Belgrade's unseasonably warm weather.

SKYWATCH--dandelion sky
A kind of sky....a multiple exposure one....does this count? I was desperate, and the sky in the original was so dull.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"Q" is for "quirky"
Definitely quirky, and despite its not having several letters on its keyboard (q is there), it still managers to pound out quite a lot of Ben Franklins.

On the beach in Belgrade
While a hammock and a palm tree would have worked during my stay in Southern France recently, they seem out of place in Belgrade, especially now that the weather has turned chilly.
Someone overlooking Kalemegdan Park must enjoy his/her beach in Belgrade....at certain times of the year.

THEME DAY-Landmark
I'm back in Belgrade, but a bit under the weather, so not much going out for a new photo for this month's theme day of Landmark.
Showing you the church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde in Marseille, as seen from the Old Port.
