REFLECTION WEEKEND--back-to-back walkers

Back-to-back walkers with me, once again, reflected in the glass window of what was once the Australian Embassy on Cika Ljubina Street.  The Embassy is still around, but in another location.

SKYWATCH--gray skies...

Gray skies and a pigeon.....

The Victor

I've shown you this statue in Kalemegdan many times. Here he is again from behind, and he seems quite a bit closer to the building across the river (Usce Tower).  That's the perspective a long lens gives you!

ABC WEDNESDAY--"A" is for "art"

Sometimes Mother Nature tries her hand at abstracts, like the arrangement in this frozen puddle.

Classic fun

Nothing better than a ride on grandpa's back.  I'm sorry I didn't get this man's name and contact so I could give him a photo.

But perhaps I'll see him again....

Trompe l'oeil

 A deserted Skadarlija street photographed a few days ago.  Imagine it looked like this this morning, too, since today is Serbian New Year's, and many restaurants on this street were full of people enjoying 'another' New Year's celebration.

The trompe l'oeil wall looks pretty good here, but is actually in need of a lot of touching up.

Sunday Bridges....from higher up.

Same bridges as before, but seen from very high this time, thanks to a friend who let me go up on her roof.

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

REFLECTION WEEKEND--"Harmonika" shop

Don't strain your eyes looking for a mouth organ, or harmonica. There aren't any in this photo. "Harmonika" here means "accordion" and an old-fashioned one is seen under that great big drum, while a more colorful version is beside the drum.

This shop, called Harmonika, is located on Belgrade's Kralja Aleksandra boulevard.

Is that a no-smoking sticker on the guitar...?

SKYWATCH---fog and hills

Sky and mist over hills on the way down from Kopaonik Mountain.

Baptismal

 On Dec. 29th my daughter's son Luka was baptized here in Belgrade.  He's being held by his godmother, while his mother holds a candle and looks on.  (No, it's not a custom to have babies barefoot, but Luka always kicks off his socks...."

ABC WEDNESDAY "Z" is for "zaftig"

The dictionary defines 'zaftig' as a 'woman having a fully rounded figure,' and the woman represented by this statue does.

Hey--we're at the end of the alphabet.  See other Z's on ABC WEDNESDAY.
