All those people who travelled today to far-flung places to seek the protection of aliens from the long foreshadowed end of the world went to the wrong place. Here on Knez Mihaila we have our very own pyramid. I arrived early this morning to capture the crowds waiting for the apocalypse and the appearance of … Continue reading the world didn’t end

twisted reality
What is real, and what is illusion? Which is the real world when we look into a mirror? Is the world we sense real, or is there some other reality in that which we see reflected in the glass? And what is reality? Is it the reality that we exist in at the moment we … Continue reading twisted reality

novo groblje
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.

This image featured in a recent post and is here again today because I was inspired by The Daily Post at … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry

la casa in lotta
As I made my way home this evening, feeling tired and blue after a hard Monday, and not adapting well to the darker evenings, cold nor the rain....I found myself transported into 1960s Italy...

terazije?
This weekend, I had another encounter with a security guard. On this occasion he was friendly and welcoming. I took the tram across to Novi Beograd as I had decided that it was about time for a post from that part of town. It was cold and wet, dark clouds scudding across the sky, leaves … Continue reading terazije?
