WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--the sphere

Another from-my-window-shot, this time through a glass sphere I bought in India. Fun to play with.

SKYWATCH--across the river.

"I can see clearly now," is what I can now sing....but there has been major fog here.  This is looking across the river from the old side of Belgrade to the new.

Vessels

These may look like vessels that come from the Far East, and I saw many similar ones in India.  However, they were photographed at a friend's country house.  She assured me they're local, but old.

Chinese New Year

Last Saturday was Chinese New Year, welcoming in the Year of the Rat. Yours Truly is a Rat.

I hate crowds, so I avoided the crowds in Kalemegdan Park that day, but went by today.

I believe this 'bronze' chariot is a reproduction of some of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's army figures in X'i-han, China.

Coat hangers!

Passed by the Cervantes Institute today (Spanish Cultural Center) and lo and behold, coat hangers on exhibit!  There were many, and all different.....

Who'd-a thunk it?

Google Translate (albeit nortoriously bad) tells me coat hanger is 'perchero' in Spanish.

MONDAY MURALS -- free the bird

Free the caged bird!

But I had no shadow for today, so...

Not a recent photo, but a reflection.

Lost in thought...

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