Weekly Photo Challenge: Curves
“I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down”
Lyrics from “Bridge over troubled water” by Simon and Garfunkel.

Weekly Photo Challenge: The Sign Says
In the darkest places.
Love in a cold climate.
“Volim te”

vojvode šupljikca
Memories of hope and love.
Memories of suffering and loss.
Walking in the road, careless of cars.
Evening air warming the soul.
Dashed expectations.
Chances lost.
Dreams on hold.
Hope remains.
Photographs captured on Ilford Delta 3200 on Olympus OM10.
crveni krst
In 1595 the Ottoman Grand Vizier, Sinan Pasha, burned the relics of Saint Sava, somewhere on the Vračar hill.
After two centuries, the exact location remained unknown.
A majority of scholars agreed on a location on top of the hill, where the Hram Svetog Save now sits.
According to some, the Serbian publisher Gligorije Vozarović (1790–1848) erected a wooden cross in the area to mark what he thought was the exact location.
There is controversy about this because some historians contend that Saint Sava’s relics weren’t burned here, nor on the place where the Cathedral of Saint Sava was erected, but near the present-day Tašmajdan park.
The emerging settlement here gradually became known as Vozarov Krst.
The Association of Saint Sava later replaced the wooden cross with a new, red one and gave the district its present name Crveni Krst (Serbian for “Red Cross”).
For me, it is a beautiful slice of belgradestreets.
A small quiet square.
People sitting, talking, waiting, loving.
Trolley buses passing through.
Buses turning for the journey back to Zemun.
Crowds filling the streets after the theatre performance.
Peace and life on belgradestreets.

Weekly Photo Challenge: In the Background
Caged.
Pacing back and forth.
Longing for release.
For freedom.
In the background.

Tonight I saw the future.
A good future for this city, this country, this people.
Our world.
A glimpse of what makes us human.
A slice of life.
A smell of hope.
Young photographers gathered together to celebrate their art.
Defy the past.
Make a point.
Live.
Love.
