SKYWATCH--Polish sky....

A sky and a lake from my recent trip to Warsaw!

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

River high....

Both the Danube and Sava rivers have risen, due to the heavy rains  in Serbia that occurred while I was in Warsaw last week...  Nice forsythia, though....

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--spring's been here all along

Yesterday I said spring was long in coming, but it's been here all along.....

This restaurant's name is  Proleće (Spring) and it's been around a long time.  Take your pick of reflections!

SKYWATCH--still waiting

Here I am still waiting for spring, but I shouldn't complain.  Our winter was pretty non-existent.  This weeping willow is sprouting some buds.

Bet you didn't notice I'm in Warsaw this week (How could you? :)   I'll be back to Belgrade on Sunday and will post some Warsaw shots next week....when I'm in Belgrade.  Confusing, isn't it?

Gotcha!

"Gotcha!"....but I really wasn't looking to shoot the pigeon, but rather something else off to the right.  That attempt was unsuccessful, but I cropped down to the pigeon and he looks pretty okay.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"I" is for "In line"

These apples were all lined up against a wall next to an optician's shop that always has unusual displays...here's a shot of their door from a couple of years ago, and here's a close-up of the apples....

The colors of spring

This girl and the case for her....(now I am embarrassed...cello?  Violoncello?)  caught my eye the other day.

MONDAY MURALS---soccer

Someone out there may know exactly who this is, but I don't. It looks like he's some sort of soccer fan....or.....?

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--the silo ladder

A real ladder with its shadow, along with that of a walkway on a silo in Pancevo, Serbia.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--the concrete ship

The ship you see in the foreground, casting its reflection on the Sava River is a world rarity, one of only three remaining reinforced concrete ships on the planet. Marine superstition says that the name brought the sad fate of the vessel because of this ship named "Sip," a village was flooded during the construction of the Djerdap hydroelectric power plant.

This concrete ship was built in 1943, in order to trick anti-ship mines whose fuses react to metal, but after the Second World War, it was used as a "residential ship" to skippers on the ground.

It's being renovated now....I believe as a restaurant....  The brown part is wood.

SKYWATCH--not quite spring

Photo taken the other day in Pancevo, a town about 15 kilometers from Belgrade.

No visible signs of spring, but they're not too long in coming, I think, judging by the weather.
