WAITING FOR THEIR DATES

 Two young women, appropriately attired for this hot weather, await their dates on a bench downtown.  

MONDAY MURALS--out of the way

 An out-of-the-way mural  near a local green market. 

See other murals on MONDAY MURALS.

PRIME LOCATION

 Some lucky bird is going to enjoy this prime location....but then again, a birdhouse should be higher up than this. This one is just for decoration, I guess.

KITTY IN THE WINDOW

 But not a real kitty. This wooden cat, handmade in Poland, sits at one of my windows beside a Turkish coffee set on a Turkish table.  Yes, I know the window needs a wash....it got seriously splattered by our heavy rains.

SKYWATCH--SWALLOW OVER THE SAVA

 Went for a walk the other day along the Sava River in New Belgrade. In the background you can see one of Belgrade's bridges joining parts of the town to a large and popular river island.

A LITTLE SYMMETRY, ALMOST

 Passed this little cafe the other day. Nobody sitting there; been too hot.

GEOMETRIC?

 A little urban geometry for you. How many geometric shapes can you find here?

SORTING HER MERCHANDISE

 Gypsies or Roma, as they prefer to be called, live on the fringe of our society and do a great deal of salvaging cast-off items that they resell and also are major recyclers of paper, plastic, and tin cans. This woman was just setting up shop when I passed.

MAGENTA

 She whizzed by me,  I snapped her photo, and then she disappeared into a doorway. I wonder what she looked like from the front.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY: Who was Petar Kocic (KO-cheech)?

 That's exactly what I asked myself when I came across this statue of Petar Kocic in a park I'd never been to before.  The short answer is that he was a Bosnian Serb writer who died in 1916, but if you care to read more, see THIS LINK.

JULY THEME DAY: CLIMATE...

 You may wonder why this post relates to climate. It's summer, it's hot, people eat ice cream.  But this summer and just about every recent summer, it's been hotter. Fall is now arriving, at least here, in November, and winters are not what they used  to be, not to mention spring...

These children appear oblivious to all this, their grandpa (?) perhaps not so much.  And for me,  I can't help but feel sorry for future generations, which of course include my grandchildren, but I try not to think about that too much.
