Window of Arms

Here we have a large window display with the Serbian Coat of Arms

Here's a snapshot from last weekend outside of St. Marko's church. I think this girl is so cute.

Cat on a roof and...the world escapes

2 pics:

This is my pic for the day, and...
In the news today was this (picture from b92.net):
I was on Slavija today and wondering where the globe was...last I saw it, it was looking a little deflated so I just assumed that it was taken down because it ran out of air (helium, obviously!) Nope, turns out our gusty weather broke the globe free. Reportedly it was followed by car by some authorities or other to make sure it didn't disturb air traffic...Yankee in Belgrade posted a pic of this globe when it was still in place. Actually she posted it on the very same day I had my own picture of the globe ready for upload, but she beat me to it.

A little pick me up

This little girl was freshening up her wreath.
For Lazarus Saturday (Vrbica in Serbian) children wear wreaths made from willow branches (and bells on ribbons, too-- if you look closely you can see she has one around her neck). It's part of the Orthodox Easter celebration.
A Yankee in Belgrade blogged about this holiday yesterday, with help from her dog Bibi, I'm sure. :)

Beautiful day today

Here are two pics from today:

Today was an amazing day for capturing reflections. Here you can see the Albanija Building. Sajkaca has written about this building in her excellent blog here.

In the picture below the sun is shining but it was still raining outside. Don't you love when that happens?

I'm liking his sweater

Really. He should wear it every day. It is that fab.

Tasmajdan Park

A popcorn vendor in Tasmajdan Park, around 7:30 last night

Always something new

A bakery in Dorcol

In Serbian, pekara means bakery.

Legs and Co.

If you've ever walked down Bulevar with camera in hand, you've probably snapped a pic of this kiosk of legwear

A long story

Pictures today brought to you by B
What on EARTH is he doing?
Follow the rope up...up...up...


Oh!

THE END

View from inner yard

This is the NON-streetside view of some apartment buildings. You can see a few new floors are being built on top of some of them. It's not the most beautiful picture but...there it is.

Construction stuff

These bags appear in large clusters where ever there's construction/remodeling.

Diagonals

Here's for today

I'm not crazy about this picture in and of itself, but I like these colorful balconies (in Dorcol).

Terazije Escalators

These are the escalators on Terazije
Take them to cross the busy street in an underground passageway that has shops

Not so little anymore

I posted a picture of this cat way back on January 22nd, with the comment "This is my new little friend who hangs out behind my building."
Well, she's not so little anymore, at least not around the middle! The poor thing is heavily 'with kitten.' Residents of the building provide food for her but it remains to be seen what will become of the little ones. :-/

Monthly Theme Day - Water

Running for the bus in a summer downpour

March wasn't a great month for my little photo blog, and April isn't starting off much better. Not only did I forget to sign up for this month's theme, but I'm posting a picture from last summer (so much for "taken today or yesterday"), that wasn't taken by me, and wasn't taken in Belgrade, either! It's in the relatively nearby town of Novi Sad ( by occasional guest contributor Mr. B). :-)

Those reflectors really work

Rather than not upload any picture for today, here's one from January :-(

Zemun, for a change

I took this picture today in Zemun
It was a great day for taking a long walk
I posted a picture from yesterday too.

Kosutnjak

Today I went to Kosutnjak which is a nice wooded area of Belgrade where you can see actual joggers!
But I didn't manage to take any particularly interesting pics, really.
Try, try again.

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):

I can't hear you!

near Sajam

I've had a bit of a photographic dry spell recently. Here's a pic from way back in November.

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
