SUNDAY BRIDGES--a bridge, a boat, a get-away

Just what the title says, along the Tamiš (TAH=meesh) River in Pančevo.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--Out of Africa?

This restaurant on the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers reminds me of when I was in Africa for a short while.

SKYWATCH -- Black and White

In contrast to yesterday's colorful post, here's another view of the statue of The Victor in Kalemegdan Park in black and white. These stairs that I am standing on lead down to the part of the park known simply as lower Kalemegdan that lies outside the fortress walls.

More colorful laundry...

I've shown you colorful laundry so many times I don't dare link back....but the last one was right here. If you click that link, you'll find other links....so I guess I am linking.

ABC WEDNESDAY - "N" is for "night"

The shadow of the statue of Prince Mihailo Obrenović that I've shown you many times before, cast on a nearby building, at night, of course.

Never Noticed the shadow before....

See other N's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

Things Go Better With Coke

Not sure if anyone uses this hoop anymore...no net, but still usable. But people still drink Coke.

Tiny socks

Even tiny socks seem to get lost in the wash. Only two matching pairs here. I know mine do...there is a gnome in my washing machine, I am sure.

SUNDAY BRIDGES -- The siren....

It's that bridge again, this time with an air siren tower to the right. During the NATO bombing of 1999, which began on March 24th of that year, this tower and others like it wailed at least twice a day. Its warning to take cover siren, nicknamed Šizela (she-ZEL-a) from the verb that means 'to freak out, panic', sounded at least once a day, and its twin sister, Smirela, (smee-REL-a), from the verb 'to calm down', followed at some point. If you'd like to listen to Šizela, you can do so right here. We did so for 78 days....still gives me goosebumps.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--"Shades" of John Lennon

Serbian inventor, mechanical and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla looks quite dashing in these John Lennon-style shades on a poster on the door of an optician's shop downtown. Looks like he's even been kissed, too.

SKYWATCH--Wall security

A security guard in Kalemegdan keeps an eye on things. I think. He'd better...it's Friday the Thirteenth.

Closing shop

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