Nature's still life


I liked the arrangement of this large lichen on a stone in Kalemegdan Park.

Closing time


I often pass by this cafe with chairs stacked up after closing time.  I like these old-style wooden chairs.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Trash collectors


When I was a child, we called the men who came to pick up the garbage 'garbage men,' a term which makes me cringe now.  'Sanitation' worker sounds too pretentious, so I've settled for 'trash collector,' hoping that won't sound like it's someone who actually makes a collection of trash.  :-0

SKYWATCH--another one of the bridge


Another one of the Bridge over Ada, with the tower that remains from the original Belgrade World's Fairground....later turned into a concentration camp watch tower.

See more skies on SKYWATCH.

The end or a new beginning?


I showed you this bakery nearly three years ago. It now seems as if it's on its way out....note the supports on the right.

 When I uploaded the photo, I could read the sign on the door, which reads, "Being renovated." I hope so, and if they do, that they will keep the character and old charm. Too often I've noticed that 'renovation' ends up meaning 'condemned' here....

Quondam"


"Quondam" is defined as 'that which once was' and so it is with this Volkswagen.  This type, as far as I know, isn't made anymore; correct me if I am wrong.

Reviving the old...


This old sculpture still stands on a facade of a building in an old Belgrade neighborhood.  The bright yellow wall and the colorful signs of the health food store really stand out.

When I uploaded this photo, I noticed the ashtray on the shelf above the figure's head.  Guess people in the health food store smoke.

THEME DAY--Ephemeral


Defined as "lasting for a very short time," I chose to use this spider web as my post for "ephemeral".

See other examples of ephemeral at City Daily Photo Theme Day.
