GOTTA SNEEZE, GOTTA SNEEZE....!
Indeed one equine of the "Play of the Black Horses" rearing in front of the Serbian Parliament Building I showed you just a few posts back looks like he really is going to sneeze. That's a hooded crow sitting there, tickling the horse's nostril with his tailfeathers.
The sculptures were carried out by Toma Rosandic, who, along with Ivan Mestrovic, was one of the prominent Yugoslav sculptors of their day.

Belgrade is having (and probably for some time) some serious air quality issues. Nobody seems to be doing much about it....

SKYWATCH Pretty in pink

Bajina Basta
Bajina Basta (BAH-yeena BAShta) is a town in the Zlatibore region of Western Serbia. You can read about it here. Every year there is a Drina River Regatta and this cute little cabin is a focus point. Lots more boats around then!

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--New Cemetery
The trees in Belgrade's New Cemetery, which is actually rather old, are darker than their shadows.

MAN WITH A RED BAG
Taking the bus home. No shots from town; in a lull. But here, through the bus window, is a spot of brightness--the man's red bag.
