andy townend captures the life and soul of belgrade, serbia
This week, vase čarapića, which runs parallel to Knez Mihaila and along the edge of the park in studentski trg. The area occupied by the park has variously see use as a Turkish cemetery, a market place, now a park and place to meet and greet, hail a taxi and ride a bus. I feel … Continue reading vase čarapića
A busy week. A cold and wet week. The rain making belgradestreets a treacherous place for those foolish enough to venture out in stylish black shoes with smooth leather soles. Some people. I.

The street is a microcosm of all that Belgrade is....leafy parks, coffee shops, graceful and … Continue reading resavska

My aim is to document a different street each week and in doing so reveal the character of the street and my own personal perceptions. I have decided to start with Pariska, the street in which I work. It is a beautiful … Continue reading pariska
