COLOR-COORDINATED
This red pepper and tomato seller had it all thought out when she decided to wear her red sandals...

SURPRISED WALL
These faces adorned a wall in Zemun, the next town from Belgrade. They look surprised or stunned to me. I wonder what the artist had in mind.

FANCY NAILS
Sneaked this shot of a girl with fancy nails, totally oblivious to me in the bus. I can't help but wonder how she types or texts with those nails.

DANCING IN THE DARK
Walking back home from viewing the eclipse the other night, I passed these young people in our park.

HUNGARIAN CHIHUAHUA
Met this little girl and her Japanese owner yesterday while on my dog walk. Didn't catch the dog's name, but she is 5 years old and weighs 5 1/2 pounds. She was born in Hungary and is such a lovely chocolate brown, Couldn't resist taking her photo, which I am of course sending to her owner.

NOT QUITE AS BIG
In 2014 I posted THIS PHOTO of the Genex Towers along with one other. In the meantime, the Brutalist-style Genex Towers have been sold. The business part is emptied, but people still live in their apartments in the other tower. Future? Who knows? In any case,
However, an enterprising site makes small copies of various Brutalist architecture around Belrade, and you can own have a mini-version of your favorite one, made in cement and very detailed. HERE'S THE SITE.

UP, UP, AND AWAY
This is a growing section of New Belgrade once (or perhaps still) referred to as Airport City because a nose-to-the-sky jet airplane once stood there, and because this area is reasonably close to Nikola Tesla Airport. It is now a HUGE building site...offices, apartments, and only a splash of Nature's green. Sad.
