Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

Not a care in the world...
That's the first thought that came to mind when I saw this decoration on a building on a nearby street.
The sculptor modestly covered her up...

Observation Point
In World War I, after crossing over Albania where it was annihilated, the Serbian Army recovered after a while and occupied its position at the Macedonian front, which spread across the mountain Kajmakčalan in Маcedonia. On the top of this mountain there was the observation post of the Serbian Army High Command.
This monument is located in a park near me, Pioneers Park, named for Tito's Pioneers Youth Movement. Here's a photo from this blog, where you can read more about them.

Does it matter?
I don't think time matters much if you are an angel; you have endless time. Perhaps these two are struggling to see who will take this clock on the courthouse in Pancevo to the repair shop....it was 10 a.m. when I took this photo.

MONDAYMURALS It appeared overnight....
This mural on a nearby building most probably did not appear overnight, since who can see when it's dark?
However, it did appear very quickly and the fellow here were finishing it off today.
See other murals on MONDAY MURALS.
Update: They've been working on it every day, and here's an update:

WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE
Here you see leaves from a peace lily, which were a beautiful green like the background. Somehow I think the photo is more attractive in black and white.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--FAIRY TALE
No fairy tale directly connected with this floating house on the Tamis (TAH-meesh) River in nearby Pancevo (PAHN-cheh-vo), but simply the name of this dwelling: 'bajka' means 'fairy tale' in Serbian.
Wouldn't mind spending time there.

Look upward!
I am a big fan of old doors and have tons of door photos. I like balconies as well, but rarely think to look up from underneath.
But I did here, and saw the loveley underside of an equally attractive balcony in Pancevo.

IMPRISONED
Not really imprisoned, of course, but behind bars in any case. These brilliant red poppies seemed to be yearning to go beyond the bars of the granary yard that held them.

Apple fritters
Apple fritters are NOT Serbian....but I had a hankering for them, and so there you go. Fried them in coconut oil for extra flavor...and calories.

Kalemegdan on a wall
I have walked on Dositejeva Street many times before, but never looked up to see this facade, which shows a gateway and tower located, I believe, in Kalemegdan Park. Not sure why these are on this building's wall....

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY Dipped into the archives
I was shadow-deprived this week. So much rain. These kids would find it difficult to sit like this with our recent rainstorms, so I dipped (pun intended) into my archives for this one, with a shadow.
See other shadows on SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.
