SKYWATCH AND REFLECTION--St. Mark's Cathedral in the Television Building


 This post is a double-header, since I am using this photo for SKYWATCH and for James' WEEKEND REFLECTIONS.

Here we see the reflection of St. Mark's Cathedral in the Serbian Television Building against a cloudy deep-blue sky.

TEXTING AT HOTEL MOSKVA


 It was 11 a.m.  This man had just finished a glass of white wine and an espresso, and now took to his phone.  And I to my camera. (I did NOT have white wine or wine of any color, haha.)

CALESTHENICS WITH HIKING STICKS


Came across these ladies with their coach in what is referred to as Lower Kalemegdan Park, under the fortress that you can see here.

Participants use their hiking sticks as part of their routine. Not a bad idea...

WATCHING OVER THE BOTANICAL GAEDEN


 These two, with matching statues on the other side of the entrance, watch over Belgrade's Botanical Garden. Looks like they've been picking a bit, too.

MONDAY MURALS--talking, texting, and a strawberry


 Cafes here are now open, inside and out with the former having limited seating, but before that you just had to  grab a bench where you found one.

See other murals on MONDAY MURALS.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--ANGLES AND SHADOWS


 Just what the title says. I liked these angles and shadows on a house in Kovin, Serbia.

See other shadows, and perhaps some angles, too, on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--belated bunnies


 Actually, the bunnies are not late. I did take this photo around Serbian Orthodox Easter on May 2, but just got around to posting it now.

The Ice Cream Tree


 I think I may have made a similar post  before, but this chestnut tree in bloom was just too good to pass up. When I was little, my mother and I would call these trees 'ice cream cone trees.'

MARATHON'S A-COMIN'


 Normally the Belgrade Marathon is held sometime in April,  but this year it's been moved to June.  

Note: Even the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia didn't stop the marathon, which was held on April 17th of that year. In April 2020 it was cancelled because of COVID, but now it's back....

I see more and more people in raining. I love this guy's spiffy shoes.
