Lost in thought...

Owner of a cafe where I often go.  Caught him in a thoughtful moment.

Come on in...

Well...not sure if I would go in or not....

Doggie in a tree

Last Saturday I posted a  tiger in a window. Here now is a doggie in a tree!

And still no improvement

Last Friday I posted another photo of Belgrade's gloomy skies, due to fog, lack of wind, and more regrettably because it is not in Mother Nature's hands but ours, lack of enforcement of anti-pollution laws...

Shadows here and there...

This was taken one evening out my window when we were having MAJOR bad air problems and fog.  Now the skies are clear again....

See other shadows on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--How much is that tiger in the window...?

Ah, India.  Won't be going back for another year, but today I was once again reminded how much I miss it when I saw this tiger in an antique shop window.

I was lucky enough last time to see a tiger in the forest while walking at Vanghat Nature Lodge in Uttarakhand, India, run by a former student of mine. Vanghat is one of the rare places where you can walk to view tigers.  Check them out at www.vanghat.com

SKYWATCH--still gloomy

Still waiting for a strong wind, or even better yet, much, much stricter anti-pollution laws.  Major fog and fumes have been poisoning our air....

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

Blue...

It's  been cold here, but I still have to do dog walks. I had passed this window several evenings in a row, and finally remembered to take my camera.

GOTTA SNEEZE, GOTTA SNEEZE....!

Indeed one equine of the "Play of the  Black Horses" rearing in front of the Serbian Parliament Building I showed you just a few posts  back looks like he really is going to sneeze.  That's a hooded crow sitting there, tickling the horse's nostril with his tailfeathers.

The sculptures were carried out by Toma Rosandic, who, along with Ivan Mestrovic, was one of the prominent Yugoslav sculptors of their day.

Laundry

If you have read my blog for a while (I know, I have been seriously neglecting it.) you will know that I have a laundry fetish.

And this photo reminds me of a rooftop garret I had in Paris once-upon-a-time.

Gloomy...

A gloomy photo that would not have looked much better in color.

Belgrade is having (and probably for some time) some serious air quality issues.  Nobody seems to be doing much about it....

On the other hand, Serbia has finally banned plastic bags...but they still abound.

Oh, my, my...
