SKYWATCH FRIDAY--The Pointing Prince

I've shown you Prince Mihailo many times before...  Here's a fallen soldier's view of the statue...

This fellow's all for Serbia, as his bag says (in Cyrillic) and as shown by his šajkača (shy-KAHT-cha), the typical Serbian hat.

All he's missing is the national shoes called "opanci" (O-PAHNT-see). See what they look like right here.

ABC WEDNESDAY - "P" is for "packaging"

This is a bar of children's or baby soap. I bought these as small presents for people years ago when I first visited what was then Yugoslavia, thinking I'd never return.  The packaging hasn't changed one bit.

THEME DAY-bakeries

This bakery on a busy main street downtown is very popular. There's a line at just about any time during the day.  It's not near me, but I had some business in the vicinity and indulged.  Well-worth the line.

Pretty in Pink

It's the April showers that have brought these not-quite May flowers...but tomorrow is May 1st...

SUNDAY BRIDGES--How can you miss it?

Not hard to see the tallest point of Belgrade's newest bridge, the Bridge Over Ada, even with this mishmash of architecture. This photo was taken from a hill in Zemun.

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

WEEKEND REFLECTION--Pussywillows

Patiently making bundles of pussywillows to sell, along with his bottles of fiery-hot homemade peppers, a plant, and a pair of used tennis shoes.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY--View from "Venice" in Zemun

A bit bizarre color-wise, I'll admit, but I really liked the  juxtaposition of the distant heating plant tower and the light pole on the terrace of the Venecija (Venice) cafe in Zemun, part of which I showed you a while ago.

Things go better with Coke Part II

I planned on posting this photo to follow up this recent post,, but it was only after I looked more closely at this photo of this snazzy Schnauzer that I realized this isn't a Coke bottle...  Well, things go better for dogs with empty plastic bottles.

ABC WEDNESDAY "O" is for "Only myself"

"Volim samo sebe" means "I love only myself."  Someone also used quite a bit of Wite-out on this sidewalk.

See other O's at ABC WEDNESDAY.

Superman lost

The 25th Belgrade Marathon was held last Sunday and despite his best efforts, Superman lost.  The marathon was won by James Kiptum Barmasi of Kenya, who finished in two hours, 16 minutes, and 1 second.  So much for "faster than a speeding bullet..."  I think the 4:30 on his balloon was when he planned to finish.


Thanks to my son for this photo!
