Shadow Shot Sunday Students' Park sidewalk

Shadows cast by wall decorations and through grillwork in the walls surrounding Students' Park in Belgrade.

See other shadows on Shadow Shot Sunday. 

You can see these wall ornaments here and the grillwork here.

 

Daily Haiku

Shadows are reborn

When the sun sinks they rise and

Lie cool in moonlight

 

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--The Military Museum Tower...twice

Recent rain left this nice puddle....and a reflection of the tower of the Military Museum.

See other reflections on James' WEEKEND REFLECTION.

Daily Haiku

Two towers you see

Puddle dries up; now there’s one

Nature’s undoing

 

SKYWATCH--You're being watched....

A drone!  I snapped this little guy who was filming the Belgrade Marathon the other week.  Is it my imagination, or does he have an evil little grin on his face?

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

Daily Haiku

Whirring over crowds

Filming everyone below

Brave New World is here

  

Degas updated

The girl on this mural on the wall of a dry cleaning shop doesn't look too hot, sweaty, or tired.  A far cry from Edgar Degas' Les Repasseuses (The ironers)

Daily Haiku

Hot, sweaty, tiring

Ironing was a real chore

Until steam irons 

ABC WEDNESDAY "Q" is for "quietly"

This Illyrian Sheepdog, or Šar Mountain Dog seems much more interested in having his photo taken than in the cat quietly padding by right in front of him.

See other Qs on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.

Daily Haiku

Strong mountain sheepdog

Fearlessly defends livestock

But poses for me  

Nikola Tesla's friend

Copped a shot of this little girl, who was posing for her father nearby.  She's sitting on the lap of Nikola Tesla's statue that I showed you a couple of years ago.

Daily Haiku

Electrifying

Power-driven, dynamic

Nikola Tesla   

No idle hands

These hands belong to some ladies who are always selling their knitted and  crocheted wares along the pedestrian street downtown.  Busy, busy.

Daily Haiku

Knitting, crocheting

Like our grandmas used to do

Is now a lost art 

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--The Marathon walkers...

Three walkers and three shadows participating in the 27th Belgrade Marathon last Sunday. Weather was good then, today rain.

See other shadows on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

Daily  Haiku

I'm never alone

 my faithful shadow follows

silent companion

 

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--so many raindrops

Raindrops indeed, but the rain that falls leaves such a beautiful green.....

Do you remember this song by Dee Clark?

No haiku, just a video today!

SKYWATCH--the stork's nest

Here in Serbia storks usually make their nests in chimneys (it's good luck) or on the top of telephone poles.  This one chose a steeple on a church in the Banat region of Serbia.

See other skies and maybe a steeple and another stork on SKYWATCH.

Daily Haiku

Steel blue steeple top

Piercing the white clouds above

Perfect for stork's nest  

THEME DAY--"Squares"

Last Sunday was the 27th Belgrade Marathon and I went to watch the start.  These fellows weren't running of course, but were advertising IDEA, a supermarket chain. 

Today is Theme Day, so have a look at what others have chosen to post.

Daily Haiku

Cubes are simply squares

Six of them put together

Three dimensional
