TWO PIGEONS SPOUTING

 These are two of four pigeons that stand below the fountain called "Awakening" in Kalemegdan Park. I've shown you THE ENTIRE FOUNTAIN before. Apparently, these birdies have been spouting water since 1928.

IS ANYONE AWARE ANYMORE?

 I don't know about you, but it's rare that I see someone out for a walk, which I assume this fellow was, and who checks his phone at length i.e. for several minutes and who is oblivious to everything around him. Mind you, he might have been checking the weather forecast, for it started to pour...and pour....and pour, and then a full-blown monsoon with  wind and then hail (okay, no hail in monsoons, but it really pelted me before I could find a place to duck into.

AND THESE ARE CALLED...?

 These statues, leaning against the facade of a building downtown, and whose heads seem to bear the weight of a ledge above, have no name that I could find. They're not caryatids, which are free-standing supports, nor statues in niches, nor are they statues in a tympanum.

In any case, in view of the horrendous May 3rd school shooting in Belgrade (the likes of which had NEVER been seen before), and another punk-criminal shooting in a nearby town the following day, these statues seem to be  bearing the country's grief. If you need to know more, especially about the former, see THIS LINK.

TWO-BEER BURGER

 

While I was waiting for my grilled chicken at  a nearby 'fast food' place, I caught this fellow (but unfortunately not his mega-burger) and his liquid refreshment.  

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--the sheet

 It had been very windy recently, so the flapping of this sheet across the street from where I was walking alerted me. Nice blue!  I miss drying clothes on an outdoor clothesline, complete with clothes prop, like my grandmother did.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--CAT IN BED

 This cat  belongs to an antique store I often walk by. The bed has been there for ages, so I guess it's not for sale, but the cat's.

ALONE, BUT NOT REALLY, AT THE BUS STOP

 Many people are never alone anymore; attached to earphones to phones to music...

STRIKING A POSE

 This girl is standing just below the STATUE OF PRINCE MIHAILO, which in turn stands in front of the National Museum. The building you see in the background here is Belgrade's National Theater.

NOW AND THEN....

 As the years go by....

MAN, REVISITED

 On April 25th, I posted a photo of this SAME MAN and wrote that I'd really like to get a better look at his cane. Yes, I could have asked, and this time he wasn't counting his  money, but using his phone. If you zoom in, you can see it better now.

MONDAY MURALS

 Goodness.....I took this photo thinking it was a hummingbird, but now I see it isn't. Then I thought it was a Kingfisher, but I don't think it's that either....anyone know?
