HUNGARIAN CHIHUAHUA

Met this little girl and her Japanese owner yesterday while on my dog walk. Didn't catch the dog's name, but she is 5 years old and weighs 5 1/2 pounds. She was born in Hungary and is such a lovely chocolate brown, Couldn't resist taking her photo, which I am of course sending to her owner.
 

NOT QUITE AS BIG

 In 2014 I posted THIS PHOTO of the Genex Towers along with one other. In the meantime, the Brutalist-style  Genex Towers have been sold.  The business part is emptied, but people still live in their apartments in the other tower. Future?  Who knows?  In any case, 

However, an enterprising site  makes small copies of various Brutalist architecture around Belrade, and you can own  have a mini-version of your favorite one, made in cement and very detailed.  HERE'S THE SITE.

UP, UP, AND AWAY

 This is a growing section of New Belgrade once (or perhaps still) referred to as Airport City because a nose-to-the-sky jet airplane once stood there, and because this area is reasonably close to Nikola Tesla Airport.  It is now a HUGE building site...offices, apartments, and only a splash of Nature's green. Sad.

WE HAD A BIG THUNDERSTORM

 Yesterday's thunderstorm brought rain, thankfully. It also set the stage for a glorious sunset.

REBIRTH

On June 2, 2019, I posted THIS PHOTO of a huge landmark tree. For several generations that tree had given shade to pssers-by, to those who sat below it, and to folklore dancers who often performed  beneath it. If you read that post, you will 'understand' (kind of....) why that healthy tree was chopped down, despite protests from citizens. Now, nothing has become of the project intended (yet.....) and a new tree has been planted. It'll be a while before it casts any shade, if it gets to be that big....

GET A GOAT

Advertisements for creams and other products made from salves, balms, shampoos, deodorants, soap, and creams made from goats.  These are ads for just a few, but there are many more products, so if you're into this and can read Serbian, have a look RIGHT HERE.  If you really get hooked, perhaps better to get a goat.

THEME DAY SEPTEMBER 2025--VANISHING POINT

 

An oldie for you for SEPTEMBER THEME DAY. This is a photo was taken in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris in 1972, right after having purchased my first SLR, a Praktica. I walked the gardens' seemingly endless paths, which appear as vanishing points. I loved black and white and still do. If you're curious, CLICK HERE  to see my very first photo with my first SLR.

BACK TO SCHOOL SOON

 School starts here tomorrow and late-night basketball games for these kids will be grinding to a halt.

WINDOWS AND LAUNDRY

 Went for a walk in one of my old neighborhoods and found this scene to feed my laundry fetish.

FORGOT HIS GLASSES?

It's possible he's squinting because he forgot his glasses, but maybe it was because it was so sunny. 90+ degrees (32c) yesterday...and will be today too.

A TOUCH OF MAGRITTE

 I knew this scene from a nearby park looked familiar. I finally realized it is similar to René Magritte's 1954 painting "l'Empire des Lumières. And so, here is his:
