SKYWATCH--Mraconia Monastery

This is a photo of the Mraconia Monastery in Romania, seen from the Serbian side of the Danube on my way to Lepenski Vir, which I showed you on Wednesday.  The area above is referred to as the Iron Gates.

Big and little

If you were reading the post yesterday, another photo of my recent day trip will appear.  This one is from Belgrade....a lone kayaker paddles alongside a biiiiig barge that is actually a floating sports center....doesn't move around.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"V" is for "Lepenski Vir"

Lepnski Vir, or Lepenski Whirl, is a Mesolithic site dating from around 9500-7000 B.C.  Yes, you read that right. You can read more at this link. Lepenski Vir is located along the Danube river, down towards the border with Romania at a point referred to as The Iron Gates.

Very large...

With my guest we went on a day trip, pictures from which you'll see tomorrow. On the way we passed these two gigantic tires....  Imagine they are from some huge construction vehicle...  Difficult to see here, but they were taller than I am; I am 1 meter 70.

Couldn't take my eyes off....

But of course this is not me; my hair has grown a bit since I last posted, but not this much and not this color.

As soon as I returned from India, I had a guest for a week and we took a river cruise on the Danube and Sava rivers around Belgrade.  I've seen the views off the boat before, and so was more interested in this girl's hair....

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--on the hill

My son took this iphone photo of his two children and sent it to me, and I am sending it to you....

THEME DAY--the beauty of simplicity

Was almost going to do a real April Fool's joke and post a photo of  myself for this month's theme "Beauty in Simplicity", but thought better of it.... ha, ha.

This yellow leaf from last fall works better.

See what others have posted at THEME DAY.

From now until after May 15th, Yankee will be taking a  break, since she is traveling to India again.  If you are friends with me on Facebook, I will try to post some photos now and then.

All undressed with nowhere to go

This young nude woman is literally on the proverbial pedestal, but perhaps she'll descend to try on this dress.....

ABC WEDNESDAY--"L" is for "Leaving"

Not there yet, but leaving next Monday again for India....trip #5.  Winging it alone this time, except also for a 16-day stint in Nepal where I'll hook up with a small group from Belgrade.  Then back to India until May 15th.

I'm going to post through this Friday, but then will be on hiatus until a bit after I return. If you are friends with me on Facebook, you may see posts from time to time.

These two girls were seated on a temple's steps in Udaipur.

Namaste.....

Sleeping Beauty....

Sssssh!  Let sleeping dogs lie....

MONDAY MURALS--down by the riverside

I often walk along the river, which is behind me in this shot, and lo and behold, another mural of Belgrade sights.
