HELPING HANDS


 Caught this elderly couple carefully walking down slippery stones beside one of Belgrade's main churches, Saint Marko's.

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.

WOOD PAVING

 



My friend pointed out this entrance to a building on a street I'd passed many times. The large metal entrance gate was open this time, and I guess that's why I was never able to see the inside of this passage leading past the actuall entrance to a garden.

What was most interesting is the wood paving. These are 'bricks' made of wood and apparently they last a loooooong time.  I googled 'wood paving' and it is used more often than you think.

SKYWATCH: TREE, MOON, PASTELS


 Just what the title says, nothing more. I stood and took in the beauty for several minutes.

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

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. 

VIKING MAIDEN

 Well, no, not really, but this woman waiting for cell phone help reminded me of warriors of the North.
