REFLECTIONS WEEKEND--Don't jump...

Sort of does look like the statue of the woman is about to make a fatal leap off of this modern building on Knez Mihailova....but I checked again today and she's still there.

A crisp, black sky for you....with three domes. The one in the foreground is the top of a kiosk, and the other two are domes on Belgrade's Parliament building.

THEME DAY- Fountains...

If they hadn't turned off the water on this fountain for the winter, the lovely beaded drops you see would be icicles. This fountain, across the way from the statue of Vuk Karadzic, a well-known Serbian scholar, is a refreshing sight in the summer, when this photo was taken. If you'd like to read more about Vuk Karadzic, click on his name!

Cold, but happy.

When there's snow and ice, I am not a brave walker. I gingerly walk along on my porcelain legs, avoiding any kind of slippery surface when possible. Sometimes it's not, and just when I'm really grumbling about winter, I come upon something cute like this happy face, with little footprints on the right of its maker, no doubt.

SUNDAY BRIDGES--bridge of your foot

Unbelievable the lengths I will go to post a bridge for Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.
I saw these shoes advertised in an American magazine. Those 'coils' are on the inside, but get a load of the logo..... I think someone should have researched that a little better. Or are they saying a guy can run as fast as 'that little red guy' can swim?

P.S. The bridge of your foot is the part of your foot running from your ankle to your toes, sometimes known as the instep.

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND--the bookstore

"Where's the bookstore," you ask? You're looking at it, or rather at the reflection in its window. The bookstore is currently being renovated and its display is empty, save for this reflection of a fountain on Knez Mihailova, Belgrade's pedestrian street.

The title says it all. Actually, there are two clouds..or more, depending on how closely you want to look....

Lemme in!

This pigeon has been hanging around my window ever since the snow fell....I think he wants in, but sorry, no chance.

ABC WEDNESDAY "B" is for '(make-) BELIEVE!

Caught this scene the other evening through a hairdresser's window. Her mother, I think, and two other ladies were enjoying an after-hours cigarette and coffee in the adjacent room, while this little girl enjoyed a moment of 'make-BELIEVE', fancying herself perhaps as a customer in one of the chairs or perhaps a stylist herself.

See more B's on ABC WEDNESDAY.
