Orange peel (am I clever or what?!)

A picture and a map

This is kind of useless since there aren't any street names or anything, but just for kicks here's where this picture was taken shown on Google maps (it's near the main train station):

Hello

I was taking some pics of the river today
and these guys were yelling, "Take our picture, take our picture!" and so here it is. :)

And now for something completely different

My brother's dog

Saint Sava without snow!

taken today
You can see it with snow here: Jan 04, 2008

Got texture

A doorway in Dorcol

There's something about this doorway I just love.

Isn't that cute?

I tried to get a tilt-shift lens effect here. I think it's neat, but I don't know how effective it is on this pic in particular...

another dog pic

Sve je dobro što se dobro svrši.or, All's well that ends well

Last week the weather was better so we were stylin' and profilin' at the park. Wow, look at that balloon flying over the river, past Pobednik,, now it's going towards Branko's bridge, it's getting awfully low, OH MY GOD it's going to crash:


Nah, it regained altitude and went on it's merry way.

Home sweet home

For a lot of people

At Pioneer's Park

Dog in the afternoon

A Quiet Moment

In Kalemegdan Park today

A cute puppy makes it easy to meet new people. :)

Yesterday at entrance to Pioneer's Park

Getting a good seat for the rally
(I processed this for HDR because of the tricky exposure)

Today's Protest and Later Riot

Two pictures today

The banner says: Kosovo is Serbia.


Near Slavija-- the VIP store

Football practice

just a bunch of medicinal teas

Kosovo protest

This pic is from yesterday's protests against Kosovo's (then upcoming) announcement of independence.

That kind of day

Splavovi

Some of Belgrade's splavovi -- or river rafts that are floating clubs/restaurants/weekend/summer houses, there's even one that's a hostel.

Happy Valentine's Day

So many daily-city-bloggers are posting with a Valentine's theme today, so I looked through my pictures to try to find something with a heart and found this from last spring.

some chairs

from last week

Jelen Pivo

A big ad for Jelen Pivo, Serbian beer (Jelen Pivo translates literally to Deer Beer)

Urban decay

Teenagers hanging out after school in Tasmajdan Stadium, a venue which has seen better days.
You can see an arial view of it (with notes) here at Wikimapia.

Guest Pic: Down By the River

This picture was taken by B, who is much better at taking pictures of people than I am.

A corner on Njegoseva street

Just a nice silvery building and a kiosk (the red thing). Kiosks are little shops where you can buy cigarettes, candy, various kinds of alcohol, bus tickets, recharge your mobile phone, yada yada yada.

Pireaus Bank Girls

It's been rainy and gloomy so here's a snap from last week
The girls were doing a promotion for the Greek bank Piraeus.

Hey Bulldog

And here's the CUTEST. CARTOON. EVER! "Feed the Kitty" from 1952, featuring a bulldog with a kitten. Awwww! Talk about the warm fuzzies.

Sweaters on sale near Zeleni Venac

The mannequins with the Zeleni Venac market rooftops in the background look surreal to me

Might as well be spring

at Kalenic

Cotton Candy Feeding Frenzy

Presidential election results

Two pictures, taken today at about 11pm
A crowd celebrates the election results on Terazije


The re-elected president Boris Tadic addresses the crowd (again, on Terazije)

Here's an article: Exit Polls Show Pro-Europe Tadic as Winner of Serbian Election

A Sort of Homecoming

Plenty of excitement in town today because there was a homecoming celebration in the town center for our tennis champ Djokovic. Unfortunately, this was the best picture I got, when he was leaving after the event.
Check out this youtube video from today: Nole sings with Belgrade. :)

Šumice neighborhood

Kalenic Market

At Kalenic, a large outdoor market in Belgrade

Beautiful Day

It was a gorgeous, clear day today

View from New Belgrade towards Old

This picture is a mess but I liked the way the windows were reflecting the light
