"Not in Kansas anymore"

You know you're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy, when you see facades, domes, and rooftop art like this.

MONDAY MURALS--Tanja Boskovic

Once again, I have to confess my ignorance in knowing who the subject of this mural is. Her name is Tanja Boskovic, and she is an actress as well. You can read about her right here.

Usually these murals are devoted to persons no longer with us, but such is not the case here. She is now 67.

SKYWATCH the moon and a UFO

It's not every day you see a UFO, nor every night either. I didn't. The white above the moon is a streetlight.  Darn.

Hmmm...

Went down to 'the bottom of Skadarlija," which offered a good shot of the full moon a week or so ago, and while waiting I took a lap shot of tthe people across from me.

Is the guy looking at the girl's sandwhich or her legs?   ;)

Ale I've not heard of

Haven't heard of these, but I am a sucker for jazzy labels, so I may try them.

KOLARAC restaurant

Kolarac restaurant is thus described as follows:

The restaurant Kolarac is one of the oldest urban rastaurants which was named after the owner of the house – the legacy donor Ilija Milosavljević Kolarac. As soon as the house was built the restaurant with the garden was opened there. Citizens, mostly families, started coming there instead of going to the German’s Garden which used to be their favourite place. The Kolarac restaurant has always been a solid restaurant. Families came there after midday sermon and in the evenings people liked to drop by after a walk around Kalemegdan for a drink of beer and to listen to music. In the beginning the restaurant and its garden were smaller: there were a few rather small rooms and a bigger one, and the garden was just a half of what it is today. Half of the seats were always reserved for regular guests. The Kolarac restaurant could boast of its “regulars”, something that no other restaurant could do.

Ilija Kolarac was a wheat dealer, and  became quite wealthy. He donated a great deal of his estate to Belgrade, including the land on which his restaurant now stands.

I enjoy going to this restaurant from time to time, especially to its garden behind the restaurant itself, where you can also have lunch or dinner.

MONDAY MURALS---not a clue

Not a clue who this fellow is, but it seems as if it might be a self-portrait, judging from the spray paint in his bag.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY --on the 'bottom' of Skadarlija

Skadarlija is Belgrade's so-called Bohemian quarter. He's a dog lounging under a street light.

Another cake, this time with a reflection for James' WEELEND REFLECTIONS.
