Isn't this a great shot? No, not bragging, for this photo was not taken by yours truly. It's the work of my friend Nena's niece, Ema, who has just bought a Nikon D3100.
I can't say I blame the passer-by for not wanting to come to dinner...the family looks quite bored and disinterested.
A long line of big political cartoons! This post goes out to Daryl of Out and About in New York City and her husband, Toonman. I hope both she and he will enjoy this post. Marko Somborac has a daily comic strip in a popular newspaper here. I am not into politics at all, but even I 'get' what he writes. I took my good old time browsing and laughing at all these cartoons... What fun.
Was sitting at a cafe with some friends the other day and looked up and saw this sparrow's feet. Good thing the canvas was between him and us...just in case he, uh, did something....
HDR-ed this one, but since the Theme Day is 'postcard-worthy' and postcards are often retouched, so....
Sometimes you really don't have to go far for a photo. Yesterday I posted a Reflections Weekend photo from my window, and now, lo and behold, here is another of....a bridge! I had no idea I could see the Pančevo (PAHN-cheh-vo) Bridge from my window, until I peeked out with my 300mm. (You can just see its trestles.) The Pančevo Bridge is currently the only bridge over the Danube (the others are over the Sava). It was named after the northern Serbian city of Pančevo, which lies about 16 miles over the bridge. Vehicles and trains pass over this bridge, which is up for renovation soon.
It's raining! I'm not sorry either, for it had been really hot and now the air is cooler. Took this photo out my window with a long lens last evening....
A statue on the Republic of Serbia Government Building looks at the ruins of an army headquarters building, destroyed during the NATO bombing of 1999.
Been a while since my friend Olja and I visited one of Belgrade's kafanas, like the one back in February before my US trip, but we made up for that today. Zora, (Dawn) is an excellent place to sample good Serbian food, and it's located right downtown off the main square. My friend's dish was a "Hunter Steak" with mashed potatoes, and I had grilled chicken with oven-baked potatoes. We shared the fresh salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, and fresh shredded cabbage..
It's Belgrade's turn to do cows. I like this cloudy cow that matches the sky.
While waiting with my son for my daughter-in-law to appear with Baby Mila to go home, I caught these Gypsy or Roma kids with their grandmother. They seem to be waiting for their mother to bring them their newest family member. Pensive group... What are they all thinking?
