SUNDAY BRIDGES--a cow, a man, a bridge....

What could be better for Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES than a cow and a bridge...and a man thrown in as well?

That's the bridge to Pancevo in the background that you've seen a few times before.

And do you remember this post from long ago and far away? Another cow....a woman...and a bridge.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--twice shot

"Shot" this man while he was absorbed in using his cell phone....and inadvertently shot myself, too.

SKYWATCH--It's not a water tower, Daryl.

My 'blister' (=blogger sister, according to Daryl in New York City) features 'Water Tower Wednesday', which I've never been able to contribute to since there aren't any here, at least the kind on top of buildings that abound in NYC.

So this will have to do. I honestly don't know its purpose...some sort of view tower? And the PUB is not a pub, but rather initials I can't locate the meaning for.

Anyway, on Wednesdays go see Daryl's Water Tower Wednesday. Actually, stop in any day.

Where do you buy your newspaper, if you still do?

I still buy a paper newspaper rather than read online. A local one, at least; American ones I read online.

But my online versions don't have a smiling person like Mladje, my local newspaper man.  (And yes, I gave him a photo!)

ABC WEDNESDAY--"N" is for "Niš"

Pretty spooky.  These skulls are part of a gruesome tower built by the Turks after the Battle of Cegar Hill (CHEH-gar) near the city of Nis (NEESH) in 1809.

This warning to future Serbian rebels was erected using over 900 skulls of slain Serbs, but only 52 remain.  Check out the whole story on this site.

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple...I think....

Or maybe bright green, what the heck!  If you'd like to read the entire "When I am an old woman" poem, click right here.

Wanna play ball?

On the same trip to the zoo that brought you this zoo tale, I had the occasion to see this male lion, father of six (I think that's right) white lions, who are fairly grown up now, in contrast to those that appear in this video.
Looks like dad isn't interested in playing ball.   

SUNDAY BRIDGES--The Bridge on the River Drina

Four years ago (Yikes, time flies!) I showed you this statue of Ivo Andric,who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1961.  His best-known novel is undoubtedly The Bridge on the River Drina. My friend Jasmina sent me this photo of the bridge on the River Drina taken by her friend Zora.

Thanks to both of you ladies for this photo!

Weekend Reflection--sharp and shiny

These shoes are eye-catching, to say the least....and there's my reflection in the toes.

SKYWATCH--Brilliant blue sky, brilliantly colored girl.

I think this girl would have brightened my day even if the sky hadn't been so brilliantly blue. Here's a close-up of her shawl...

The original 'Dock Worker'

I don't know about you, but I often find the story behind the story of some of my photos.  In 2010, I posted this statue that I called The Dock Worker, since the plaque was missing.

On October 4th I posted that I'd been to the October Salon, a visual arts event that's been taking place since the Sixties. Inside as part of one exhibit was this photo that I rephotographed that shows the man who posed for this statue (he's on the left, but I think the fellow on the right may have had some influence, too).

His name, I believe, is Milorad, and he's still active in the art world.
