WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Ready for the holidays

Someone's ready for the holidays.  Are you?

See other reflections on James' WEEKEND REFLECTIONS.

SKYWATCH--Prayer or exercise

Praying or exercising skyward, perhaps both!

See more skies on SKYWATCH.

One with a sword, one with an umbrella

More likely these days you'll need an umbrella in Belgrade rather than a sword.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"V" is for "vestiture"

And vestiture is simply 'clothing'.  Getting chilly.

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

Even the branch stays away

Those prongs sit atop a wall on a side street downtown. Don't try to climb over....   Even the branch steers clear.

Home remedy

When you've been battling a virus like I have with just about everything known to modern science, sometimes it doesn't hurt to turn to home remedies....made myself some garlic soup today, and before I did, I got out the camera.  It's always out.

At "Last Chance" cafe

The "Last Chance" cafe/restaurant (Poslednja Šansa in Serbian) is located in Tašmajdan Park. Not long ago I passed by late at night and caught this lamp, curtain, and shadows.

See other shadows on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--On the Orient Express

Well, not exactly ON the Orient Express, but IN it...sort of.  The Orient Express in question here is a restaurant/cafe inside Belgrade's Hotel Balkan, outside of which I took this photo.  In the reflection you can see a fountain that stands in front of the Hotel Moskva, a piece of which is visible to the left.

The original train the Orient Express ceased to run on December 14th, 2009, but its route had included Belgrade. I remember seeing the train on one of its stopovers quite a while ago.

SKYWATCH--grey and foggy

Grey, foggy, and tilted, too.....

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

Street art of a different kind

Not street art in the sense this painting was not painted directly on a wall, but rather o n a canvas over a window.

All the same, it's quite attractive.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"U" is for "Unpretentious"

Probably not the best U word I could come up with....but for the  lady on the street, her clothes are definitely unpretentious, and the sari is beautiful, though not particularly a knock-out fancy one.

See other Us, probably better than mine, on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.
