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

GUY LOOKING FOR BRIDE
The title 'Guy looking for bride' would be the literal translation of part of the red print on the sign
The other in blue would be 'Inquire within'. Sign's been there for a while....no luck, I guess.

SKYWATCH: TREE, MOON, PASTELS
Just what the title says, nothing more. I stood and took in the beauty for several minutes.

SLEEPING IT OFF
Seems like this holiday gnome has had one long season....too much holiday cheer. I'll check and see if he's still there tomorrow....

CONVERSATION....
A definite lack of any conversation and so it was the entire time this couple 'enjoyed' their meal at my local Indian restaurant. Not a word was exchanged. I was morbidly fascinated...and saddened. In this photo, the fellow had just put his phone down and perhaps was hoping for a word from his partner, but no.

STARBUCKS PUPPUCCINO?
A bit fuzzy, but I took this with my 50mm lens at quite a distance and cropped it. I love the dog enjoying his night out with his master. Couldn't make out what the dog was having...perhaps one of Starbucks' famous PUPPUCCINOs. Not sure they serve them here though....

BRUDERHOF MEMBERS?
Walking home the other day, I caught sight of this mother and her children waiting on a street corner. She was about to take a photo, and little did she know it, so was I.
I wasn't sure why they were dressed like this, so I googled. The closest I came was finding the BRUDERHOF COMMUNITY, since the clothing seemed to match up. I am sorry now I didn't ask her. There is no Bruderhof community here, so I imagine they were tourists.
Please correct me if you know what they represent.

HANGING ON
This wine and brandy seller has a stand on the pedestrian street downtown. Others like him have closed shop for the season, but I imagine he has reason to believe that despite the recent warmer temperatures people still want mulled wine and brandy.

HOLDING THE BAG
This couple near an outdoor market caught my eye the other day. The bag contains some pastries and is not heavy. I liked the way they were 'helping each other' carry it. 😃

SKYWATCH--PRINCE MIHAILO
You can read more about him iF YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE. One fun fact I learned was that he was the first person in Serbia to get vaccinated against smallpox, which claimed the lives of three of his siblings.

SHUTTERS
Went through the old municipality of Zemun, which was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Lots of beautiful architecture.
