SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--Turkish coffee

Not much of a shadow, but it's there.  Two Turkish džezve against a typical Pirot rug.  Remember, Serbia was under Turkish rule for 500 years...

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Lace curtains

Old window, lace curtains, blue sky, yellow leaves....though since I took this a few days ago, the weather has turned wintry....but it's about time.

SKYWATCH--gloomy

A gloomy view, like something from the beginning of a film noir.

Love it

I have to say that I like this mural....I wonder if the people who live there did it or had it done, or did they just awaken one morning, walk out the door, and....?  But it's still there, so they like it, and so do I.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"S" is for "Save the Sparrows"

The population of Belgrade's mascot, the sparrow, has been declining, due to too many pigeons and crows, which overpower the little guys in a struggle for food.

Recently in Tasmajdan Park these sparrow houses were placed in several trees.  At least the sparrows won't have to hustle for housing; tiny holes!

The hat shop

This is one of those shots taken totally without looking, a hip shot, lest the woman notice me.

Turned out pretty well, I think.

Jovan Ćirilov

Came across this mural of the late Serbian theater expert, philosopher, writer, theater selector, poet, and significant contributor to Serbian culture, Jovan Ćirilov, who died on this day in 2014.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--paddling through a reflection

Two males and a female duck paddle their way through a reflection from a floating restaurant on the Sava river in Belgrade.

Skywatch--Beware the comet!

Not a real comet, but a jet plane, I think, or perhaps I've spotted a UFO and didn't know it.

I opted to say it was a comet, since today is Friday the 13th...  Historically, comets were thought to be harbingers of bad luck.  For example, the Bayeux Tapestry shows a comet when Harold of Essex snatched the English throne from William of Normandy, soon to be known as The Conqueror.

Are you superstitious?  Will you be cautious today?

"Who" lives here?

"Whose" house this is I do not know, but I like their mailboxes.

ABC WEDNESDAY-- "R" is for "red"

I think this lady looks rather elegant, though she did turn a few heads.

Today is REMEMBRANCE OR ARMISTICE DAY," celebrated by wearing a bright red poppy.
