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

DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW
Roaming the streets at night again. I have often admired this window downtown, but never could get a look inside during the day. I saw a bit more at night, and someone was looking down at me.

CARPE DIEM
Carpe diem means 'Seize the day,' or by extension, 'the opportunity.' I seized my day and my opportunity. It was so beautiful, sunny, and warm the other day that I bought myself a popsicle and sat down on a bench downtown.
Looking up, I saw this worker in the art gallery on the second floor across from me who was seizing his opportunity to do some stretching and neck exercises.
Carpe diem.

COUNTING HIS MONEY
I was intrigued by this man's staff and wish I could have gotten a better look at it. He had quite a wad of bills, too, but not too visible here.

SOME LAUGH, SOME LOOK OUT THE WINDOW
And he saw me, too, but what could he do, trapped in that tram....
I only saw the little girl when I uploaded the photo.

LET NO EVIL ENTER
I love seeing these MASCARONS on buildings. Originally they had the purpose of scaring evil away, but now they are purely decorative...or so they say.

HALVA, ANYONE?
When I was a kid, I read MAD Magazine faithfully. I soon became aware that halva, a type of confectionery originating from Persia was often referred to. I now googled and can't find a reason, but it was so. That said, it was years before I ever tried halva. Crumbly and sweet, and I like it, though hardly ever buy any.

STACKED CHAIRS
These chairs at a local ice cream shop caught my attention. I hope it will be warm enough soon to enjoy some ice cream while sitting on them.
