For an expat in Belgrade, Christmas comes twice a year. Today the Orthodox Church celebrated Christmas. And soon, here, it will be New Year again. Another time to make resolutions to live a better life, to treat those around us, all those we love, with more respect. Resolutions at this time of year make fickle … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Resolved

happy new year from belgradestreets
Standing alone, watching life blazing by, the man standing on the corner thinks about his next step across the road. What will he find on the other side?

It comes from nowhere, we find it when we are not looking for it. Like love. In this case, a puddle on the street, a street covered with … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise

I've been very busy this last week... Hope to get some posts out soon, alleyways and graffiti for Christmas perhaps.

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. The generation to come? They were here in droves, busloads, listening, interacting, learning, being inspired. They are the future of this country. Not a bad way to … Continue reading festival nauke 6.0
