an extra post (making up for lost time?) few words images that tell a story that is belgradestreets a street that links a great church with the heart of a great city all life is here come, visit belgradestreets
My first post of 2012. A rather late post. So, will keep words to a minimum. More to come.
The Bajrakli Mosque is the main feature of gospodar jevremova in Dorćol. According to wikipedia the mosque was built around 1575, and is the only one surviving from the 273 that existed during the Ottoman Empire's rule of Serbia. Wikipedia goes on to say that "...during the occupation of Serbia by the Austrians (between 1717 … Continue reading gospodar jevremova
This is a special post for me. It records the first street that I lived in on my arrival to Belgrade in February. Then đure daničića was blanketed in snow. These are the first images of belgradestreets captured with my new Nikon D700. The emphasis is on windows and doorways, a bit of a recurring … Continue reading đure daničića
This week's (late) post features a street that I suspect many only see as they hurry through in their cars, trams or buses. Images I snatched between meetings, waiting for trams, taxis. Like all belgradestreets it pays to pause a while. Look, reflect, think, imagine, wonder. BIGZ, the Sajam Fair, retail outlets, apartment buildings, cafes, … Continue reading bulevar vojvode mišića

скадарска, in the heart of Dorćol lies the street also known as the "Bohemian quarter". On Summer evenings the streets is alive with Belgraders relaxing, dining, drinking, talking....and smoking. Music fills the air and flowers line the cobbled streets. As winter closes in the tables on the terraces are empty. Life continues unabated inside the … Continue reading скадарска
Birčaninova runs parallel to Nemanjina in Savski Venac. Not often encountered by tourists unless they have business with one of the many Embassy buildings that line this and the surrounding streets. Like so many belgradestreets each building has something to reveal, each window, each doorway tells a story. Crumbling masonry on some walls sitting uneasily … Continue reading birčaninova
ulica rajićeva is another of those streets which run perpendicular to Knez Mihaila it encapsulates for me the atmosphere of belgradestreets as the autumn inexorably slides towards winter so the temperatures have plunged and gradually the cafes and bars are beginning to retreat indoors, although many still bravely march on with outdoor tables and heaters … Continue reading rajićeva
