Closing shop

From my car window, I caught this jeweler putting away his wares for the night.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"M" is for "Maxi's prices are falling..."

The other day while walking in Tasmajdan Park I came across this group of oddly-dressed young people standing by the fountain (not on) on the left. It was a hot day, and they stood out in their heavy 'snowsuits'. Just as I was about to snap the shutter, they all fell to the ground! They remained there for a few minutes, then got up and moved on. They're part of an advertising campaign by MAXI supermarkets, a chain of about 500 or so supermarkets throughout Serbia.

Their suits show prices, one higher, one lower, and so their actions show that Maxi's prices are falling....

Could it be....?

No, for sure it isn't Novak Djoković, since I know he wasn't in town when I took this photo, but it reminded me of him, just as this guy reminded me of Bill Clinton.

Once more from behind.

This post may remind you of another rear view from a short while ago. This large lady angel stands not far from the Cvijeta Zuzorić Pavilion, used primarily as an art exhibit venue.

SUNDAY BRIDGES: Despot Stefan's rowboat?

There once was a moat around part of Kalemegdan Fortress. This rowboat lies below the bridge to and from Despot's Gate, named for Despot Stefan Lazarević.

See other bridges at Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--open windows

Big contrast between this modern and old building...but look the old shutters open out in the same way. Actually, so can the new white ones, but none are here.

See other reflections on James' WEEKEND REFLECTION.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY--old postcard?

No, not an old postcard, but looks like one, except for the gas station. I've shown you this scene before, but I liked how this sepia version looks.

Don't mess with Winnie the Pooh

I loved the contrast between this girl's backpack and her 'bracelets'....or whatever they are...and her gloves...

ABC WEDNESDAY - "L" is for "Look before you leap"

You won't quite make it to the pool from this diving tower, which was part of Tasmajdan Park's swimming complex. This whole area of the park, like the park itself, is being renovated. Gee, think how people used to climb up those metal rungs in their bare feet. Ow.

Ah, spring...

Ah, spring...the sound of birds chirping, flowers popping open, and the click of cameras' shutters.

Spring brings many tourists to Belgrade like the ones above, who are spending a few hours in the city and Kalemegdan Park before returning to their cruise ship down the Danube.

The building in the back is a small gallery of Belgrade's Museum of Natural History, which is located in another part of the city.

Greta and her person

Bibi and I meet many dogs on our walks...and their persons, too. Greta, on the left, is all ready to play, while Bojana, her person, looks on lovingly.
