After all, Kosovo was only forcibly annexed to Serbia around 1913. That was a mistake, and now the mistake is over. Saying "Kosovo is Serbia" is like saying "Poland is Germany".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-29546253237657478342008-05-09T10:57:00.000+02:002008-05-09T10:57:00.000+02:00Antjas, by the way, "zelje" isn't kale, since I kn...Antjas, by the way, "zelje" isn't kale, since I know what that is.

My parents were from Hrvatska (now living in Canada for the past almost 60 years) and were always strong believers in a united Jugoslavia. My father recently wrote an editorial to his local paper criticizing the Canadian government because they recognized the separation of Kosovo without understanding the history and that "Kosovo is Serbia". The lady's craggy face reminds me of my Baka. <BR/><BR/>Is the zelje kale?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-31428810512467702772008-05-08T16:55:00.000+02:002008-05-08T16:55:00.000+02:00Dan was wondering how to take pictures of people w...Dan was wondering how to take pictures of people without them noticing.

This idea would square with the prostrate beggar women I've encountered in Venice. They look quite pathetic and very religious as they supplicate themselves on bridge steps. Early one morning, however, I happened upon a group of 3 of these women apparently having an organizational meeting in a quiet corner with coffee and croissants, smiling and laughing. This private scene was diametrically opposed to their public persona. Anyway, no idea if your photogenic woman falls into the same category. I really like her care and age-worn face.Chuck Pefleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886326288618029812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-50008540107955980732008-05-06T00:49:00.000+02:002008-05-06T00:49:00.000+02:00This woman is practically a local celebrity.
