Taking a break....

I haven't posted since the end of September....that's a long time ago. The reason was that I have been in India or nearly three months, and since I was most of the time without Internet, it was nearly impossible to post.

That said, I am back now....but realize I need to take a blog break. "I shall return," as General MacArthur said, but I honestly don't know when.

Right now, I am going to devote myself to a bit of editing and writing. If you see me around Belgrade, I will still have my camera....that I will not put down.

See you one of these days...  Should anyone reading this want a photo of some specific place, perhaps a street or building where they once had lived, for example, write to me and I'll do my best.

One-third for sale...

Inheritance laws are a bit weird here. If you have no specific will, your property will be divided equally between your family. For example, the wife will get one third, and if you have two kids, each child will get one third.


Looks like somebody wants to sell their one-third....  Awkward....

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--the mailbox

Well, there IS a   reflection in the door window here, not a knockout one for sure, but I think the mailbox is really cute.

SKYWATCH--clouds over Zemun

This photo in color, was just so-so, but I think it looks much better in black and white.

The Green Door

I have a thing for old doors.....  This one I found in Belgrade's adjacent municipality of Zemun.

ABC WEDNESDAY "K" is for "Kelpie"

 A kelpie is defined as "a water spirit of Scottish folklore, typically taking the form of a horse, reputed to delight in the drowning of travelers."   

No kelpie in sight here, since these folks might not be so safe....

The Walker

As I type this a few days early, it is raining...but will it be when you're reading this?  "Setac" means "walker".

MONDAYMURALS -- Joe Strummer

I had no idea who Joe Strummer was until I looked him up.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--country fellow

Almost all of this photo is a shadow, except for the ray of light on the grass.

This typical country fellow was standing in the garden of a restaurant in the village of Irig, Serbia.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--the ceiling on the spoon

Said it before, and I'll say it again:  "I am never bored when I have my camera," which is just about always.  Had lunch in a lovely restaurant just outside of Irig, about an hour's drive from Belgrade.  Definitely a 'slow-food' place, not that I was in a hurry, but like I said, I'm never bored, and will find a decent photo just about anywhere.

SKYWATCH--clouds

Nothing noteworthy here; just pretty, with a little Orton effect....
