SKYWATCH -- The Avala Tower....and the golden arches...

The Avala Tower in the distance, a newer rendition of the original tower destroyed in the NATO bombing of 1999.

And those golden arches are visible, too.....globalization in the worst sense.

SHADOW SHOT--the blue parasol

I am now in Seattle where I had expected rain, but haven't seen it yet.  Serbia is undergoing heavy flooding, the worst in 120 years.

Though the Sava river here appears muddy where it joins the Danube, indicating rains upstream, the day I took this photo about two weeks ago was sunny, and this umbrella was used as a parasol.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--lamp post....

I am currently in the US and will be posting from Seattle soon.  Serbia is now having the worst rains it's had for 120 years....  This photo was taken a few weeks ago when it was had rained, but not nearly as hard.

"Hejt" No More

Serbian is a phonetic language and 'j' is pronounced as a 'yuh', so 'hejt' is pronounced 'hate'. Not sure if this was an accidental misspelling, or if 'hejt' refers to something else...dunno what.

No haiku for a while. I am physically now in the US, but in cyberspace I'll be in Belgrade for another week!  Just to get over jet-lag....then photos of Seattle.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"R" is for (Dusko) Radovic

Dusko Radovic was a children's writer, journalist, poet and aphorist, and I remember him fondly. He died in 1984, and this is a photo of his newly-renovated children's theater, with St. Marko' Cathedral behind it.

See other Rs on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY. Sorry---no haiku.

One sits, one gazes

Wall art and street sitter.

Daily Haiku
Two street artists
One forms his thoughts on paper
One in his mind’s eye
