My bedroom is painted red, almost a blood red, and I love it. If I owned a house rather than an apartment, I just might paint it red too, like this one in Vršac (VUR-shots), about an hour and a half drive from Belgrade. Click on the photo and admire the ceramic tile grapes above and below the windows. Vršac is known for its vineyards, and you can read a bit more about the town
A few days ago I posted a photo of the town of Vršac (VUR-shots) seen from a hill overlooking the city. At the lovely hotel on top where I went to walk around, I came upon a wedding in full swing, and caught these newlyweds posing for one of their first photos together as man and wife. My photo's from a different angle, to be sure! For another bigger wedding photo in Belgrade, see here .
The name of town of Vršac (VUR-shots) is derived from the Slavic word vrh (hard to pronounce, but it's something like "vurh"), meaning "summit." The town, about an hour's drive from Belgrade, lies on the bed of the former Pannonian Sea, today known as the Pannonian Plain in Central Europe Ottoman Turks destroyed the town in the 16th century, but it was soon rebuilt. In 1594, Serbs from the region started a large uprising against Ottoman rule, and Vršac region was center of this uprising. Later this area fell under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and of now is part of Serbia. The town lies at the foot of part of the Pannonian Mountains, and is known for its good wine.This red pepper and tomato seller had it all thought out when she decided to wear her red sandals...
