Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

A-1 DOG
This street dog probably feels like an A-1 top dog with his own house and food bowls. Little does he know that A-1 is a mobile network operator.

DEATH TO FASCISM
That's what the words in red mean. I don't think the cat wrote those words, but I am sure he agrees. He has a duplex, too; class.

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.

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.
