The dead are never alone on belgradestreets. These images were captured during a walk around belgradestreets this weekend. I had heard much about the "new cemetery" and decided it was time to visit.

I first encountered this place when I took my car to be repaired at a garage just across the bridge in Novi Beograd.

muzej savremene umetnosti
Decided to add an extra post today, a sort of 'Sunday Supplement'.
