SUNDAY BRIDGES--golden and cold

The Sava River, spanned by Branko's Bridge in the photo, take on a golden hue in this night shot.  It was a chilly evening, too, even on the shore, and I didn't envy the boaters.

Lonesome rowboat floats

On a ribbon glowing gold

THEME DAY--People in the street

Theme day again!  We're into the third month of 2014....

Snapped this photo of a motley group of people across the street from me waiting for the light to change.

(With my camera, I always have something to do while waiting for the light to change...)

See other people around the world right here.

Tall, short, fat, skinny

People come in all sizes

No two are alike

SKYWATCH--the last grays of winter?

I liked the layering in this photo. I hope the grays of winter will soon be behind us.

Daily Haiku

We see only gray

Be it fog, mist, smog, pollution

Gray is so much more

Prince Michael

Here is Prince Michael Obrenovic whose statue I have shown you before.The building to his left is being finished; office space and possibly apartments, while the scaffolding behind him is for work being done on the National Museum.

Once famous leaders

Gone and almost forgotten

Have streets named for them

 

 

ABC WEDNESDAY--"G" is for "garden"

This little house is tucked into a garden between two much larger buildings. I have a feeling it's still home to someone.

A place in my heart

Where my soul yearns to go

Is where I call home 

Honk, flap, pinch

Last Sunday was the annual Gander Fight in Mokrin, Serbia, not far from the Hungarian border.  These fights are NOT bloody or cruel. They only involve a lot of wing-flapping, honking, and pinching.  It's mating season and the ganders are more aggressive to another gander, and are incited to fight with their rival by a lot of honking on the part of the geese.

No goose or gander gets hurt.  They all strut off at the end with, at the worst, wounded pride.

Ganders with their geese

Honking, pinching, wings flapping 

Only pride gets hurt

Dead serious

This young man takes his music very seriously, judging from his expression.  He wasn't bad, either.

The violinist

Makes melancholy music

From within his soul

 

SUNDAY BRIDGES--nightwalk

A lone walker makes his way across Branko's Bridge toward town.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--in and out of the puddle

I turned this upside down from the way I originally took it....

Let you keep your feet all dry

SKYWATCH--Setting up

Yesterday I showed you one of the fellows helping out with this film set-up, and today you have what I was looking at.  The building is Serbia's Academy of Science and Art that I'd shown you part of a year or so ago.

Equipment....

Stopped to watch a film crew set up on a side street off of Knez Mihailova street the other day.  Couldn't help but admire this fellow's equipment...., which may remind you of these guys' equipment from a few years back.

Reduce, simplify

Back to the bare essentials

Not always easy
