HAPPY HALLOWEEN

 Nothing original here....a black cat, my cousin's pet, for Halloween....

Don't eat too much candy, and save the peanut butter cups for me.

SKYWATCH--First Serbian Insurance Society

 This building is located on Belgrade's pedestrian street, Knez Mihailova. It was the headquarters of the First Serbian Insurance Society, but unfortunately I cannot find any information about it. It no longer functions by selling any kind of insurance. Note the Thai Massage parlor advertising to the right, haha.

Unwanted bouquet

The questions are:  Who left it?  The girl who received it, or the fellow who was going to give it to her, and why...?
 

Disappearing

 So many of Belgrade's beautiful old facades are disappearing. I am afraid this may be one of them.

That's the minaret of the Belgrade Mosque in the background.

Hot pink

 A poor quallity phone photo on a dismal early evening. I was sporting my new hot pink rain boots (ankle high) and was carrying an umbrella and purse of that same color...with my dismal gray coat.

I thought perhaps I should hijack this car, too.

MONDAY MURALS--poppyseed roll

 Nothing like a good cup of black coffee and a piece of poppyseed roll, unless of course you don't like poppyseed roll. which I do not.  

Here's a recipe anyway.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--Iconic Restaurant

A 'kafana' is a restaurant often with live music that serves traditional Serbian food. Such is the case with Srpska Kafana, located not far from me. It was opened  in 1932, but had been closed for a couple of years recently due to restitution (property seized by the Communists and now being restored.)  

Its closest well-known neighbor is the Atelier 212, right next door, and many actors had the tradition of going there after a performance.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--another shoemaker's elf

 Earlier this year, I had posted another shoemaker's elf, but for some reason I can't seem to share the link.

Anyway, here's another for you.  Look at all those 'fancy' heels....

SKYWATCH--LOOKING WEST

 I have my son to thank for this photo taken from his balcony. We're looking west here, of course, at the disappearing sun.

I wish I could be a bit farther west today because it is my daughter's birthday and she is in the U.S.

Thank goodness for Skype. I'll eat some cake for her, too.

Another part....

 Another part of the tiger mural I posted on Monday. I was attracted by these luscious-looking tomatoes that seem to be growing on the roof.

CHERRY, CHERRY

 Just gotta love this cherry red Volkwsagen. Unlike the VW in this previous post, someone is taking care of this baby.
