WEEKEND REFLECTION--the railroad station

Sorry, have to use an archived photo. I've recently finished a very long and time-consuming project, which left me not much time in the past few weeks (the final rush!) to take many photos.

You can see Belgrade's main railroad station reflected in my rear-view mirror.

International Women's Day

Today is International Women's Day and if you are of the 'weaker sex' (ha), you may get flowers or a present today. This is a woman who works at an open market near me selling plastic products and clothes 'dryers' like I showed you before and that you can see partially behind her.

And while she's taking a break, she's reading a recipe magazine.

Shadows

Took this the other day when it was sunny....oh, how pleased I am that spring is around the corner....

I like this photo, but I think it might be a bit 'busy'....too many details. What do you think?

"Face to Face"

Here are four young people who are selling Liceulice, a street newspaper dedicated to the "destigmatization of miniority groups". Each issue costs 100 dinars (just over a dollar) and half of that money goes to the seller. If you'd like to read more about Liceulice (Face-to-face), you can do so right here, but only if you can read Serbian.

P.S. The word 'lice' (face) in title of this magazine, if you look at its cover, is face-to-face. Liceulice could also be a play on words, i.e. "Face of the street" = "lice ulice."

Sunday Bridges--Three for One

Three for one on today's post, thanks to my fellow Belgrade photographer, Vuk Tosic, whose work you can see at www.vuktosic.com The three bridges above are from near to far the Old Railway Bridge, Gazela Bridge, and the newest Bridge Over Ada.

See other bridges at Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--Can Alice be far behind?

Ah, the White Rabbit. Or maybe just a white rabbit. I know it's really the latter, since this little fellow was shown to you before with his owner, who takes him for a walk (and here I guess a run) every day.

Didn't see any blond, long-haired little girl in hot pursuit. Just the reflection of the lady in the door.

Theme Day: Electricity--the building behind....

A while ago it was too cold, too snowy, too wet to tromp around at night for photos, so I played Peeping Tom. Was thwarted, though, since no one was around. But I wonder who lives in this apartment with the (seemingly) yellow terrace?

And are they keeping their lights on for someone to come home? Someone who'd have to climb up the side of the building?

ABC WEDNESDAY "G" is for....lots of words....

Well, let's see...there are gobs of words that begin with G.
Here's a glimpse of a guy in a museum, surrounded by a painting of a grande-dame, a girl, and maybe a sexy girlfriend. But he's totally gone, not paying any attention at all to these gems of the art world or to the gazes of the ladies on the wall. He appears to be engrossed in a crossword puzzle and making very sure he writes the correct grapheme in the right space. And might that be a gabardine he's wearing?

See other G's at ABC WEDNESDAY.

And don't forget today is Leap Year. Make it special. Next one rolls around in 2016.

VIKING MAIDEN

 Well, no, not really, but this woman waiting for cell phone help reminded me of warriors of the North.
