SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY - "LAV" MAKES THE WORLD GO 'ROUND



Shadows of leaves, stubbornly still clinging to a nearby tree, seen through the canvas umbrellas advertising LAV (lion) beer.

SKYWATCH--the Modern Art Museum


Snapped this sunset behind the Modern Art Museum in New Belgrade from across the river from the same vantage point about an hour or so after I took this photograph.

Extra-large


Ice cream!  The bigger, the better.  The swirled buds on this huge plaster ice cream cone resemble the ornaments on the roof of the National Theater behind it.

Those 'rocks' you see really are rocks or something similar, but are meant to resemble the little crunchies you get on this cone....in a smaller size.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"M" is for "magnify"


I think this fellow may have forgotten his glasses and is using....what, exactly, to read his paper...

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

NOTE!  I've added a contact form to the right, just above the clock...see?  Makes it easier for you to contact me. 

(Special  note to Tomas of Madrid:  if you want me to answer you directly, you need to change your settings, since when I click 'reply' on your comment, it comes up "noreply@blogger.com".) With the form, you'll be entering your email anyway, so that would work.

Belt, anyone?

While sitting at a cafe the other day, I observed this woman trying to sell belts to men seated at the same terrace.  I was wondering to myself if she ever got lucky, but as I watched, she sold two  belts to these gentlemen and to two more nearby.....  You know, I don't even own a single belt.

Park Patrol

The man and woman with the blue folders are members of Belgrade's street/park patrol, and cite persons for various infractions.  This man didn't have an issue, since his 'dangerous breed' dog is muzzled. He was asking exactly which breeds were considered dangerous.  He received, from what I was able to hear as I putzed around taking this photo, a very unclear answer.

Which breeds, in your option, could possibly be dangerous and should  be muzzled?

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--the Russian Church


This little Russian church stands in Tasmajdan Park, adjacent to Saint Marko's church, part of which is visible on the right of the photo.

SKYWATCH--shooting the bridge or a selfie?



Judging by the angle this man is holding his camera, I'd say he's shooting the bridge, but he could also  be shooting himself  (!) with a panorama of part of New Belgrade behind him.

I was too lazy to climb up and ask.

Ethno-sheets

Aren't these sheets and cover wild?  They're a reproduction of a certain style of a certain style of Pirot carpets, a craft which reached its peak in the 18th century, but is still popular today....as you see.

I think they'd be fun, but they don't match my bedroom....

THEME DAY--Movement

Here it is the first of the month again and I was hunting frantically among my recent photos for a "Movement" shot. I'd over looked this one several times, but then I saw that the little figures are indeed 'moving', perhaps to some musical movement. Seek and ye shall find! See other interpretations of Movement right here.

UP, UP, AND AWAY

 This is a growing section of New Belgrade once (or perhaps still) referred to as Airport City because a nose-to-the-sky jet airplane once s...
