QUINCES

 There is an eyeglass shop downtown that creates beautiful window displays. I cropped out the eyeglasses here to show these lovely quinces. Quinces are an ancient fruit (3,000-5,000 years old, and come from near the Caspian Sea in Iran. All that still doesn't make me a fan of whatever one makes of them; I've tried.  But they're great for photos.

REFLECTIONS IN A PUDDLE

 I have a new lens, a Viltrox 9mm 2.8. Took a test run the other day through raindrops and will do more today. Because it is such a wide angle, it lets you get really close to the subject with minimal distortion with 'flatter' subjects like this puddle. You can see that the camera focused on everything,  not just the reflections, so all is clear. I am happy with it so far.

JUST A LOVELY BLUE DOOR

 Just a lovely blue door in Zemun, near Belgrade. Not sure the amchors indicate the home belonged to a fisherman, but maybe. Zemun lies along the Danube.

NO FEAR OF HEIGHTS

 Defnitely not a job for me. I just wonder how much they get paid.

CLOSED--FOR GOOD

 This is the wreckage of a floating restaurant on the Danube near Zemun, which is just down the road from downtown Belgrade. I couldn't make out if there had been a fire or if it has fallen into ruin for some other reason. Been that way for quite a while. The city has been tidying up such places along the river, and I imagine this one hasn't many more days left.

SMOKIN' HOT

 Spotted in the community of Zemun yesterday. Smokin' hot red hair and she's smoking, too. When I first came here in 1977, many women dyed their hair this color. Not so many since.

SITTIN' HIGH

This eye-catching chair/stool awaited someone at my local outdoor market. A fish place with a little bar-type table you can see to the right.

ENJOYING A GLASS

This young woman was enjoying a glass of wine and so was I, with a friend the other night.

Downtown.....

NO LONGER WANTED

 A bit sad. Upon closer inspection these flowers at an outdoor market didn't look so bad. 

REFLECTION

 A red neon sign with the restaurant's name shows its reflection on this table.
