Keep an eye out for those counterfeit bills! (And learn who's on which bill, too!) Somebody didn't do his homework here, with Honest Abe (here, not so honest) front and center instead of Ulysses S. Grant. And don't you just love the 'fiftidollars'?
This bill was on display at a recent exhibit at the National Bank of Serbia.
Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

Two walks of life....
Sometimes when you catch a street shot you're trying too hard to get just that particular shot, which was what I was doing when I snapped this nun with her Adidas bag and athletic shoes. But the lady behind her is walking almost identically, but that's where the resemblance stops. Two very different 'walks' of life.

SUNDAY BRIDGES--a plethora of bridges
You pick which bridge of this plethora of bridges you like best on this photo taken from Kalemegdan.
And if you don't know what a plethora is, watch this clip from a movie I still enjoy... See other bridges on Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--not a shower curtain
I have passed this window many times and wished that that hanging scene was a shower curtain, but it's not. I mean, it COULD be one, but it's not for sale. I asked inside, and they said it was too expensive to mass produce...oh, but they should...
Nice bike, too.

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.

Went through the old municipality of Zemun, which was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Lots of beautiful architecture.
