WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Old Tram Bridge....

Another photo of the Old Tram Bridge, as it's called here, which in itself, being so green, is springlike.  Add a little forsythia and there you go.

SKYWATCH--the silk factory in Pancevo

Actually, as you see, it's now a defunct silk factory in the nearby town of Pancevo.

A silk industry was begun in Pancevo in 1733 and this particular factory was built in 1900.  Silk was produced until 1967, but the industry was already declining and the 234 year-old tradition came to an end.

Redhead

Red all over, almost!  Squirrels here in this part of Europe look more or less like this.  Some aren't so red, but a bit more on the dark grey with red.

I think he or she is quite jazzy.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"K" is for "kermes"

"Kermes," in case you didn't know as I didn't before I looked up 'unusual words beginning with K,' is a brilliant red color or a red color derived from insects.

Not sure if any insects contributed to this eye-catching red on Belgrade's walking street, but the color brightened up my day.

Warsaw's Eiffel Tower....sort of....

This is Warsaw's palm tree, which has become sort of an icon since its installation in 2002 when it was put up by the Center for Contemporary Art.  It was never taken down, and in this respect, is sort of like the Eiffel Tower, which also was to be taken down after the World's Fair in Paris in 1889.

You can read the interesting history of  this palm tree right here.

MONDAY MURALS--Warsaw wall....

Warsaw's walls are frequently covered with great murals and other wall art.  Here's one for you!

See other murals on MONDAY MURALS.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--wall of the Old Town

Shadows on part of the wall surrounding Warsaw's Old Town.  Spent last week in Warsaw visiting a friend.

See other shadows on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Ferrari.....

Spotted in a showroom in Warsaw, Poland, during my recent trip.  A shiny red Ferrari....  Times have definitely changed since I first visited Warsaw in the early 80s.

SKYWATCH--Polish sky....

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

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!
