Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

LAW AND BUSINESS SCHOOL
I have always liked this doorway on Belgrade's Law and Business School, just a few doors down from where I live.

MONDAY MURALS--around the corner and beyond
This building is surrounded by murals, at least on three sides. I couldn't get to the back of it.
See other murals on MONDAY MURALS.

WEEKEND REFLECTION---the hookah pipe
Hookah bars are fairly common here now. I don't smoke, but although I like the fragrances that I inhale when I pass by a hookah bar, I'm not sure if I'd like to try.

SKYWATCH--REEDS
When I visited the town of Belo Blato, about 60 kms from Belgrade, I was a bit taken aback by these odd-shaped 'haystacks'. They are not haystacks at all, but rather bundles of reeds that are later sold for roofing on various structures.
Here's a link for you. Notice that this industry has been around a long time and that it is a fact that insects do not attack the reed stem, hence making then perfect for roofing.

RECYCLED?
I had to dig into my archives for this one, since I don't have too many recent Belgrade photos. Gotta get out there on the streets again, but it's hot.
Anyway, for those of you who enjoy beverages in a can, be they with alcohol or not, why not save the tops? Ask some friends to join you.... You could create an eye-catching car like this one, and quench your thirst at the same time.

CVIJETA ZUZORIC PAVILION
Cvijeta Zuzoric, pronounced TSVEE-yeh-ta ZHOO-zhor-eech, (1552=1648) was a lyric poet from what is now Croatia. She wrote in Latin, Italian, and Croatian. The building behind the statue is a pavilion used for art exhibits.
Wiki has this to say: "Cvijeta Zuzorić“ Art Pavilion is an exhibition building in Belgrade, in Kalemegdan, situated in the park's section of Little Kalemegdan, next to the south-eastern front of the Belgrade fortress. It was built between 1927 and 1928 after the design of the architect Branislav Kojić, in the Art Deco architectural style."

ROAD TRIP
Took a short photo excursion starting last Friday. Photos to come, but this is what I ate on the way back: grilled boneless chicken leg on over roast potatoes, salad, and a lovely hot grilled green pepper with lots of garlic...

SKYWATCH--twilight
A phone shot and cropped, so it's a bit blurry. Two domes of Saint Mark's cathedral and a tiny one on the roof of the Federal Parliament building.

STRIPES AND BUTTERFLIES?
A zebra-striped dress and butterflies on her arms were what this lady sported while waiting for the bus.
