FROMAGES FRANCAIS...."Made in Serbia"


 This fellow has had a French cheese shop in Belgrade already for a number of years. I've tried quite a few of them, and they are truly top-notch. Having lived quite a while in France, I think I'm a pretty good judge. Superb. And all made here from Serbian cows, sheep.... Yummy. He is French, by the way, so has cheese in his genes.

In this photo he is selling his cheeses on Belgrade's pedestrian street where he has set up a stand for the holidays.

MONDAY MURALS -- COQUETTE


 A coquettish smile on this young woman. A bit nippy these days too to be dressed like that.

SKYWATCH--Lookng from Zemun toward Belgrade.


 Last week the weather was so beautiful a friend and I took a walk through part of the riverside (Danube) part of Zemun, just next to Belgrade and part of the city itself. This view is from just behind THIS TOWER that I posted a while back.

Check other skies, partially smoggy or not, at SKYWATCH.

COLORFUL MAILBOX


 Indeed colorful.  I seem to remember as a kid in the US people weren't allowed to paint their mailboxes as they like, but that apparently has changed.  I googled and found this: "There are currently no restrictions regarding the color of curbside mailboxes in the United States. While the USPS doesn't require homeowners or property developers to use a specific color for their mailboxes, it does require the use of specific carrier flag colors."

ACROSS THE DANUBE


 Taken last Sunday. Weather was clear, good wind, pleasant chill....so why did my air quality app show poor air quality? 

That's a river island across the way with summer houses...or not summer; any time.

ZEMUN GULL AND SWANS


 It was such a gorgeous day after several days of rain that a friend and I took another walk in ZEMUN along the Danube. Lots and lots of swans, but here only two since I cropped the others out to emphasize this seagull.

MONDAY MURALS---SORT OF....


 This probably doesn't fit into the mural category, but it is art painted on a wall, so....  I just thought it was cute how the artist incorporated the pipe as the elephant's trunk.

WHEN CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS ARE OVER....

 

When Christmas and holidays are over, it's back to work. I wonder if this is the real Santa and if he really plays the accordion in some cafe.  I didn't ask him. This is a hip shot but I think he suspected something.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--abstract


 I like one-way window where you can't see inside. They make for wonderful reflections, as you see here. Protruding windows distort some of what is reflected.

See other reflections on James'  WEEKEND REFLECTIONS.

THREE MEN AND A MOTORCYCLE

 And one has a camera.
