78....

 

Seattle has hills and it has many stairs, especially in my daughter's neighborhood. There are 78 stairs in this photo. At home in Belgrade I have no elevator to take me up and my 98 stairs...which I climb and descend 3 times a day 'thanks to' my dog.

MY FAVORITE SEATTLE HOUSE

I have admired this house for years. I am in Seattle now until mid-January so Yankee will be posting from Washington state.

KU KLUX GHOST?

 

I was waiting at a red light downtown when I noticed this stain on a wall across the street. Maybe it's because Halloween is just around the corner, but at first I thought it looked like a ghost. However, it's hood and cross shape in front of the figure looks more like a Ku Klux Klan ghost.

MONDAY MURALS--QUEEN NATALIE OF SERBIA

 A huge mural of Serbia's QUEEN NATALIE, wife of Milan I Obrenovic of Serbia, who ruled from 1882 to 1889.  Queen Natalie was a celebrated beauty in her youth and was later regarded as one of those most beautiful queens in Europe.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY-The Best Butcher Shop

Morava butcher shop is known and praised all over Belgrade. This is their first location, and they have opened a restaurant as well. Always a lot of people waiting. I hardly ever eat meat, so I am spared this line.

JUST A MAN AND HIS DOG----SWINGING

 Hmmm...I doubt the dog asked for this, but rather the older man is satisfying his inner child. We all do. I do constantly. 😀

TAKE-OFF

 Taking off is what I will  be doing next Thursday. Long stay in US, so many of my posts after that day will be from the USA.

In the meantime, here's a pigeon taking off from the top of a very tall fountain with a cracked wall behind it.

IT'S BUZZIN' AT THE PARK

 

Okay, honestly I didn't hear any bees buzzing, but there certainly was a lot of human swarming around the stands at the 49th Annual International Honey Fair. You need to take 'international' with a grain of salt....or sugar. As far as I could tell, the international flavor was given by several former Yugoslav republics, now countries of their own.

SHATTERED SKY

 

I stood gazing at this building for several minutes, trying to figure out what this arrangement of reflective pieces meant. If they are mirrors, somebody's going to have a lot of bad luck.

I prefer to call it 'shattered sky'.
