NEVER TOO YOUNG TO LEARN

 Dad was helping his getting his son interested in photography. 

As the joke goes, "Get your child interested in photography and he'll never have money for drugs and alcohol."

SKYWATCH--SUPER MOON

 A flashback to other night's super moon. It was playing peek-a-boo outside my window; mainly 'peek,' since I never saw it in its entirety.

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

BLUE HAIR = BLOND

 

Here in Serbia the word 'plava' (blue) is also used to refer to a blond man or woman. I don't know what color this young woman's hair really is, but she is certainly 'plava' here.

TWO ORANGES AND A DOG

 Don't bother looking for the fruit...just two people in bright orange and a dog. And of course another two people with a dog ahead of them.

WATCH OUT FOR THE BEES!

 I  may have posted this before a long time ago, but this statue of a woman holding a beehive caught my attention (again?)

I looked up what beehives mean and they seem to  be symbols of obedience, organization, and structure.

This statue is also making a fashion statement with her 'ripped' dress, reminding me of the ripped jeans craze.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

I was lurking on a bench, on lap, waiting for prey. I saw this lady coming. Her dress and her black and white dog matched, so I got ready. And then the dog squatted..... Perfect example of what my muse, Henri Cartier-Bresson called 'l'instant décisif"!

Timing is everything.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--sticking out his tongue

 I often pass this MASCARON on my way to a small supermarket where I shop. The house it adorns, sadly in disrepair, dates from 1901.

I always smile at this creature's attempt at being a rainspout. Any run-off water is going to gush mainly in the window below or at least down the facade.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--street lamp in cycle mirror

 Fiddling around with my older camera, which has a terrific zoom. I was very far away.

THEME DAY--BOTTLE--CARS GO BETTER WITH COKE!

 Here I am back again after a long hiatus. I have to admit that this is not a new photo (It dates from 2009), when gasoline was still hard  to find at the pumps and had to be smuggled in (albeit very overtly!).

Since we had all been used to this way of selling gasoline for quite some time during the sanctions years before, most of us drivers could tell at a glance by its color which gasoline was best (pale green).

For years now gas stations are working like anywhere else, even if gas is expensive. Right now it is around 189 dinars PER LITER, i.e. around 4 times that for a gallon, give or take. Therefore, an approximate gallon would be 756 dinars or $7.00 a gallon (6.45 euros).  It's always been high, and I was always amused when I heard my American friends in the US complain about gas prices...

THE SWEET SHOP

 

I really want to splurge and try this sweet shop. Will take photos of their selections. And maybe sit on this bench, though I would get rid of the ashtray....

STYLISH WITH A FAN

 Had a cold beer at my favorite cafe the other night and sneaked a photo of this chic lady fanning herself.
