Sometimes there are quite a few that crisscross.<BR/><BR/>This area is just off the one end of the main pedestrian street. Hotel Moskva is 100 years old, but I think most of the buiildings you see in this photo are newer, post-war ones. Belgrade of course has quite a few old buildings, some of which, sadly enough, are in disrepair.<BR/><BR/>Belgrade is divided into 'old' Belgrade, the original city, and a larger suburb, New Belgrade.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241553607254199559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-38147344688286085732009-02-28T21:57:00.000+01:002009-02-28T21:57:00.000+01:00i like it a lot, the greyness, the 'oldey worldey'...i like it a lot, the greyness, the 'oldey worldey' look is so nice.hugs to you bibi.soulbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879115279499153124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-469366178791784172009-02-28T20:22:00.000+01:002009-02-28T20:22:00.000+01:00Thanks for your kind comments today Bibi.

It seems like it was yesterday when I was strolling down that street either toward the theatre square or going back home (on foot of course) toward Kaleniceva Pijaca. I finally found some of my old friends on Skype several days ago and after chatting with them it was like seeing myself in the mirror almost half a century later. Where did the time go?<BR/><BR/>Again, thank you very, very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-83416572062077158772009-02-28T08:07:00.000+01:002009-02-28T08:07:00.000+01:00Thank you all!

I love the perspective with the curve in the road and the wintery feel to the photo. Nice to know what Terazije means after all these years.
