B is for Books or Biblioteka - ABC Wednesday

This is the National Library of Serbia, as seen from the back. It's not it's most impressive angle but I still think it looks pretty cool. Right now it's undergoing a major interior renovation. And that's all she wrote. :-)

Happy New Year - X for Xenium

I couldn't come up with an x word for today so I looked through the list that Yankee-in-Belgrade linked to to see if anything fit these photos I took today. The best I could come up with is xenium, which means "a gift made to a guest or ambassador; any compulsory gift." x=h in the Cyrillic alphabet but I decided not to go there. :-) ABC Wednesdays

People were doing some last minute shopping here today as gifts are typically given on New Year's, not at Christmas. Check out this gentleman's bag.


Aaand music was echoing on the streets..

Here's a video put together by polypheme photo from the Guča brass band festival. It's a slideshow of pictures with music.

Wings - ABC Wednesdays

Here's a picture of a crow taking off from a tree branch. We don't have many squirrels in Belgrade (though you can find them in less populated areas of the city) but we have plenty of crows that I think do a good job providing a little comedy relief.
Some studies say that crows are as intelligent as primates. I've seen crows here dropping nuts from the top of streetlamps in hopes that the nut will break open on the pavement. Here's a segment from David Attenborough showing this and other behaviors(the best bit is towards the end!):

ABC Wednesday - U for Umbrella

I was going to submit 'U is for Upside Down' but then I was getting a headache looking at the picture (of a dog rolling on it's back). So instead I defaulted to U is for Umbrella. The motion blur in this picture is from panning, in-camera, not Photoshop.

T is for Threes - ABC Wednesdays

Three men and three dogs in Tasmajdan Park. :)

S is for Silhouette

Well, the railing is in silhouette even if the cat isn't completely, so it still counts as an S, right? :)

Thanks for stopping by.

R is for Reflections - ABC Wednesday

Each car has its own interpretation of the apartment buildings across the lot. This was on 27 Marta (street).

ABC Wednesday - P

P is for Pachyderm. Honestly, I really hate to see these animals stuck in a zoo.

ABC Wednesday: L is for Long Lens

I'm going to jump aboard ABC Wednesdays. This is my post for L: people walking near the river as seen from Stari Most (the Old Bridge). I zoomed in on them with a Long Lens -- 200mm to be exact.
