MONDAY MURALS -- COQUETTE

 A coquettish smile on this young woman. A bit nippy these days too to be dressed like that.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--a crisp walk in the park

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--the red lamp

 Just what the title says; nothing more.

SKYWATCH--Lookng from Zemun toward Belgrade.

 Last week the weather was so beautiful a friend and I took a walk through part of the riverside (Danube) part of Zemun, just next to Belgrade and part of the city itself. This view is from just behind THIS TOWER that I posted a while back.

COLORFUL MAILBOX

 Indeed colorful.  I seem to remember as a kid in the US people weren't allowed to paint their mailboxes as they like, but that apparently has changed.  I googled and found this: "There are currently no restrictions regarding the color of curbside mailboxes in the United States. While the USPS doesn't require homeowners or property developers to use a specific color for their mailboxes, it does require the use of specific carrier flag colors."

ACROSS THE DANUBE

 Taken last Sunday. Weather was clear, good wind, pleasant chill....so why did my air quality app show poor air quality? 

That's a river island across the way with summer houses...or not summer; any time.

ZEMUN GULL AND SWANS

 It was such a gorgeous day after several days of rain that a friend and I took another walk in ZEMUN along the Danube. Lots and lots of swans, but here only two since I cropped the others out to emphasize this seagull.

MONDAY MURALS---SORT OF....

 This probably doesn't fit into the mural category, but it is art painted on a wall, so....  I just thought it was cute how the artist incorporated the pipe as the elephant's trunk.

WHEN CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS ARE OVER....

 

When Christmas and holidays are over, it's back to work. I wonder if this is the real Santa and if he really plays the accordion in some cafe.  I didn't ask him. This is a hip shot but I think he suspected something.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--abstract

 I like one-way window where you can't see inside. They make for wonderful reflections, as you see here. Protruding windows distort some of what is reflected.

SKYWATCH --decorations still up

 A bright sunny day today over Belgrade's pedestrian street. You see a small Christmas/New Year's tree here and some stands that sell food and drink after 5.  There's a huge and very unattractive decorated tree a bit father on. 

Why are the decorations still up?  Two reasons: some are rented and the City wants to get its money's worth and also tonight is Serbian New Year's Eve according to the Julian calendar. Tomorrow it's New Year's Day again.
