I've been very busy this last week... Hope to get some posts out soon, alleyways and graffiti for Christmas perhaps. For now, please check out this great post from Nemanja Jovanović, one of six great documentary photographers who make up Belgrade's Kamerades photo collective. Gritty, powerful and challenging work. Road to nowhere, by Nemanja Jovanović.

first snow…
The snow has come early this year! These images were snatched on my iPhone earlier today, just wanted to share the impact of the heavy snow over the weekend. Temperatures well below freezing, forecast to be -12C tonight. All those years when, as a child, I prayed for a "White" Christmas seem so long ago … Continue reading first snow…

Science. Physics, chemistry and so much more burn bright on belgradestreets. The future of belgradestreets, the next generation, were presenting their knowledge and their passion for learning today.

Not a bad way to … Continue reading festival nauke 6.0

Today the warm weather feels as if … Continue reading winter approaches

A river runs through it. I have always loved rivers, lakes, seas, oceans. The feeling that the water flowing by somehow connects me to every other part of the globe. The call of faraway ports. New worlds to discover. On belgradestreets there are two rivers, the Sava and the Danube Life on belgradestreets revolves around … Continue reading dunav

A post dedicated to all those across the world who refuse to "turn back or die" and instead face the consequences. To all those for whom "turn back or die" is … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. In 1970, Australian educator, journalist and politician Irina Dunn created the phrase by scribbling it on two bathroom doors: one at Sydney University where she was then a student, and the other at Soren's Wine Bar in Woolloomooloo. This post is not about women, … Continue reading woolloomooloo
