Love in Black and White

Today is Valentine's Day, a holiday that calls for red, the color of love.  I decided to post in black and white today. Love is love, it's black and white to me, along with all the passion, of course.  I could have used a red filter maybe....

Happy Valentine's Day to lovers everywhere....old, new, past, present, future...

ABC WEDNESDAY "E" is for "enamoured"

Spring is coming.  These pigeons were about to get a head start....

Chess break

Any time's a good time for chess, even when it's cold.

New Belgrade's flea market is shrinking, since a new bridge has taken over some of its space.  These two sellers are taking a chess break.

Here's an example of what my little Minox can do when conditions are right---no fuzziness, fairly clear!

"Happiness is when we're together!"

"Happiness is when we're together!" reads the Coca Cola ad behind these not-so-happy people standing together at a downtown bus stop.  And it wasn't even cold that day to be waiting.

Only the bear looks happy....but then, he's got a Coke.

Sunday Bridges--two in the mist

Two bridges for the price of one today.

Happy Sunday...it's snowing here a bit....I don't want any more snow...

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

WEEKEND REFLECTION--The crane on Hotel Metropol

Belgrade's old Hotel Metropol is getting a major facelift.  One of the cranes working on it is reflected on the windows of the backside of the hotel.

See other reflections on James' WEEKEND REFLECTION.

SKYWATCH--streaks over the steeple

Aircraft streaks in the sky over the steeple of Belgrade's main church.

Off the hook.

Off the hook and definitely out of commission, unlike these telephones that I showed you last September.


A predicament like the one in the song  "Off the Hook" by the Rolling Stones wouldn't be possible today unless you have a rotary phone.  Do you?

 Wanna listen?

ABC WEDNESDAY = "D" is for "ducks"

A fuzzy scene of the ducks on the Danube, taken with my little Minox camera.

Nature's earrings

I'd like to have earrings like these berries. But only two...I don't have three ears.

The monument, the tower, the film

The upper photo shows you the skeletal tower of what was originally an observation tower on what is now called the Old Fairgrounds, which were constructed just before the outbreak of WWII.  Afterwards, the fairgrounds were turned into a Nazi concentration camp. I've shown you the tower and the monument before.

The lower photo shows director Goran Paskaljevic's latest film, When Day Breaks (Kad Svane Dan), a partially true story (the main character is based on Paskaljevic's co-writer, Filip David's experiences) of a man who suddenly discovers his true identity and that his real parents had died in the camp.  You can read more about this film right here.

The last photo is also a shameless plug on my part. I did the English subtitles, so if it comes to your theater, hang around and read the credits.  :-)
