Go vegan!
I never thought I would live to see the day when veganism, let alone vegetarianism, would be advertised, albeit on walls.
Serbia is meat-eaters' paradise. I hardly ever eat meat. What about you?

MONDAY MURALS--horses
Caught this mural in the town of Pozarevac, a little over an hour from Belgrade. "Za" is "for" and the first letter below, that looks like an H with a small b attached represents the sound Nj (nyuh). The other H is an N in Cyrillic. The word for 'horse' is 'konj' , but I don't know what the H (N) would be...confusing!

Proud
Caught this man sitting in Kalemegdan Park during a recent festival. Somehow, he seemed very proud-looking.
UPDATE: In response to William's comment, below, here is an explanation of his hat.

MONDAY MURALS---on a wall somewhere....

And technically it's not really a mural, but if I'd cropped it, you might have thought it was....;)

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--fun car
This fun car stands in a gallery that sells wacky art. Looks like it might be fun if it were bigger and drivable.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS---linden tea
Linden tea is delicious; almost as delicious as the linden trees' blossoms are fragrant. The latter saturate the air with a heady, sweet fragrance anywhere from end of May through the beginning of June.
Linden trees are sometimes called lime tree or lime bush, but are not closely related to the trees that produce limes.
Here is a recipe for linden tea.

SKYWATCH--'Walking home'
Nice moon, the last full one was, and I caught this while walking home. PLEASE enlarge the photo. Like the moon itself, it looks much better bigger. And you'll see the bird better. How's that for an alliterative post?

The clandestine mulberry pickers...
Two of my friends who accompanied me on our road trip to Bač, Serbia, the other week, decided to indulge in some mulberries.....

THE FROZEN BIKER
Biker on the sidewalk along the Danube (Yes, this is Serbia....) who appears not to be moving, therefore frozen, despite the heat!
