Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

Making an impression
I am not sure whether this shoe print was intended to look like a tennis racket...sort of....but it looks like one to me. Caught my eye anyway. And I guess that's the maker's point, if anyone really cares if their soles make an impression of either kind.

Dancing the kolo
Two weeks ago in Tasmajdan Park there was the annual Honey Fair. There's always music and dancing, too, as you can see by this group of young dancers performing traditional dances, including the ever-and-most popular kolo.

No time to talk?
People have lots of time to talk, but probably few use these 'real' phones anymore...
I don't even have a fixed phone and can't remember when I last used a phone booth. How about you?

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY - "LAV" MAKES THE WORLD GO 'ROUND
Shadows of leaves, stubbornly still clinging to a nearby tree, seen through the canvas umbrellas advertising LAV (lion) beer.
See other shadows on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

SKYWATCH--the Modern Art Museum
Snapped this sunset behind the Modern Art Museum in New Belgrade from across the river from the same vantage point about an hour or so after I took this photograph.

Extra-large
Ice cream! The bigger, the better. The swirled buds on this huge plaster ice cream cone resemble the ornaments on the roof of the National Theater behind it.
Those 'rocks' you see really are rocks or something similar, but are meant to resemble the little crunchies you get on this cone....in a smaller size.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"M" is for "magnify"
I think this fellow may have forgotten his glasses and is using....what, exactly, to read his paper...
See other Ms on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.
NOTE! I've added a contact form to the right, just above the clock...see? Makes it easier for you to contact me.
(Special note to Tomas of Madrid: if you want me to answer you directly, you need to change your settings, since when I click 'reply' on your comment, it comes up "noreply@blogger.com".) With the form, you'll be entering your email anyway, so that would work.

Belt, anyone?
While sitting at a cafe the other day, I observed this woman trying to sell belts to men seated at the same terrace. I was wondering to myself if she ever got lucky, but as I watched, she sold two belts to these gentlemen and to two more nearby..... You know, I don't even own a single belt.

Park Patrol
The man and woman with the blue folders are members of Belgrade's street/park patrol, and cite persons for various infractions. This man didn't have an issue, since his 'dangerous breed' dog is muzzled. He was asking exactly which breeds were considered dangerous. He received, from what I was able to hear as I putzed around taking this photo, a very unclear answer.
Which breeds, in your option, could possibly be dangerous and should be muzzled?

THEME DAY: SOFT
These traditional Serbian plum dumplings are indeed soft and flavorful. Grandma made them from scratch, but I fell for the frozen ones that ...
