DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL

 Cute, spunky little girl and proud papa.

AT THE PUB

Serbia does have its local beers, but of course foreign ones always seem better, and I guess sometimes are, depending on your taste. There is one hidden Serbian brand sign just below the Stella Artois and above the Budweiser, WEIFERT BEER, once produced in Pancevo, about 15 kilometers from Belgrade, is now produced in Zajecar, about 243 kiolmeters away.
 

WAITING AT THE BUS STOP

Took the bus home the other day after my dentist appointment...all went well, thank you.

I need to check just how many bus stop shots I've taken over the years.

SERBIA'S LARGEST MILITARY PARADE

 Photo from last  night showing the Serbian flag on the Genex Tower in New Belgrade where today the country's largest MILITARY PARADE will take  place. I have been  inconvenienced by preparatons for two weeks, along with a vast number of citizens in New Belgrade. Also, the tanks and heavy equipment that will roll along have already damaged the main streets they've rolled into already to line up. Time to redo the asphalt.

WE SPLIT THE CAKE...

 Strong, dark coffee and chocolate cake with a friend. We were good girls and split it.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD

 In a few years the ice creams these boys are enjoying will undoubtedly become cell phones....

DECIDING ON THE MENU

 Dining out all alone. I caught this fellow while taking a long evening walk through an area of New Belgrade

COLOR-COORDINATED

This red pepper and tomato seller had it all thought out when she decided to wear her red sandals...

BLONDIE TEXTING

 Just another familiar sight.

SERBIAN MILITARY POLICE--AT EASE!-

 Cigarette and texting break for this member of the SERBIAN MILITARY POLICE.

SURPRISED WALL

These faces adorned a wall in Zemun, the next town from Belgrade. They look surprised or stunned to me. I wonder what the artist had in mind.
 

FANCY NAILS

 Sneaked this shot of a girl with fancy nails, totally oblivious to me in the bus. I can't help but wonder how she types or texts with those nails.

DANCING IN THE DARK

 Walking back home from viewing the eclipse the other night, I passed these young people in our park.

LUNAR ECLIPSE SEPTEMBER 7TH 2025

 Seen from downstairs in the park.

HAPPILY WAITING FOR THE BUS

 Took a hip shot of this pleasant-looking older man.

HUNGARIAN CHIHUAHUA

Met this little girl and her Japanese owner yesterday while on my dog walk. Didn't catch the dog's name, but she is 5 years old and weighs 5 1/2 pounds. She was born in Hungary and is such a lovely chocolate brown, Couldn't resist taking her photo, which I am of course sending to her owner.
 

NOT QUITE AS BIG

 In 2014 I posted THIS PHOTO of the Genex Towers along with one other. In the meantime, the Brutalist-style  Genex Towers have been sold.  The business part is emptied, but people still live in their apartments in the other tower. Future?  Who knows?  In any case, 

However, an enterprising site  makes small copies of various Brutalist architecture around Belrade, and you can own  have a mini-version of your favorite one, made in cement and very detailed.  HERE'S THE SITE.

UP, UP, AND AWAY

 This is a growing section of New Belgrade once (or perhaps still) referred to as Airport City because a nose-to-the-sky jet airplane once stood there, and because this area is reasonably close to Nikola Tesla Airport.  It is now a HUGE building site...offices, apartments, and only a splash of Nature's green. Sad.

WE HAD A BIG THUNDERSTORM

 Yesterday's thunderstorm brought rain, thankfully. It also set the stage for a glorious sunset.

REBIRTH

On June 2, 2019, I posted THIS PHOTO of a huge landmark tree. For several generations that tree had given shade to pssers-by, to those who sat below it, and to folklore dancers who often performed  beneath it. If you read that post, you will 'understand' (kind of....) why that healthy tree was chopped down, despite protests from citizens. Now, nothing has become of the project intended (yet.....) and a new tree has been planted. It'll be a while before it casts any shade, if it gets to be that big....

GET A GOAT

Advertisements for creams and other products made from salves, balms, shampoos, deodorants, soap, and creams made from goats.  These are ads for just a few, but there are many more products, so if you're into this and can read Serbian, have a look RIGHT HERE.  If you really get hooked, perhaps better to get a goat.

THEME DAY SEPTEMBER 2025--VANISHING POINT

 

An oldie for you for SEPTEMBER THEME DAY. This is a photo was taken in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris in 1972, right after having purchased my first SLR, a Praktica. I walked the gardens' seemingly endless paths, which appear as vanishing points. I loved black and white and still do. If you're curious, CLICK HERE  to see my very first photo with my first SLR.
