STUCK TIGHT...


 We've all done something like this.  Usually we back into a pole and are greeted with a horrible metal-to-metal sound, stop backing up, and move forward.

This fellow didn't have a chance. The top part of this pole is wedged under part of his rear bumper. Try as he might, he couldn't get the bumper to give a little, nor of course could he do much about the pole, which has been leaned forward a bit. 

This is right downstairs from me and I was in the parking walking my dog. Heard the screech....  I'll go back later and see if he managed to get loose.

MONDAY MURALS---URBAN COW


 Came across this mural totally by chance while taking a shortcut between two buildings. I couldn't step back far enough to capture the whole thing, but there are buildings of the world in the background and a river between them and the man and cow.

SKYWATCH---UNIVERSITY LIBRARY SVETOZAR MARKOVIC


 Sunny skies when I took this photo and today, too, although it is minus 10 Celsius.  This is the facade of the Svetozar Markovic library of the University of Belgrade, named after a 19th century political activist, literary critic, and socialist philosopher. Markovic died as a result of having been jailed under very poor conditions and he died on February 26th at the age of 28.

RETURN OF THE JEDI?


 Two days ago I showed you a man sleeping on a bench in this park. Today we haven't got a snoozer, but  a Star Wars wannabe. He fascinated me with his twists and twirls. Some kind of martial art, I imagine.  Anyone? Anyone?

SOUR GRAPES


 Actually, they may be sweet grapes, given that they are last year's grapes, but I didn't try them.

A WARMISH WINTER DAY...


 Almost like spring....  this fellow was snoozing away on a park bench across from the Faculty of Philology downtown.

I was seated on a bench a bit farther away, with my little dog beside me. I pretended I was taking her photo, but I wasn't....

MONDAY MURALS two quince


 Does quince have a plural? "Quinces" sounds funny.  Anyway, this lovely mural graces the wall next to a restaurant/bar here in Belgrade.

THE WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE--dog walkers


 A familiar scene to me every day in the park where I go for my morning dog walk.  Big dogs, little dogs, dogs, dogs play...and their owners chat.

WEEKEND REFLECTION=St. Marko's in a puddle


 Rain the other night made a  bit puddle, but not large enough for the entire cathedral's reflection.

THE DINOSAURS ARE HERE TO STAY


 Kalemegdan is one of my favorite places to walk. Full of history, well laid-out, great views of the confluence of the rivers Sava and Danube.

A number of years back this exhibit of dinosaurs was set up. I thought it was temporary, but it has expanded.  Kalemegdan Park is becoming Jurassic Park. 


It was foggy...


 'twas foggy the other night....and a bit mysterious....

COUCHER DU SOLEIL SUR LES TOITS

 Well, you can't keep a good blooger down. Said I wouldn't be posting for a while since I am 'out of town, ' but here I am.....
