Architecture, graffiti and design are a signature of belgradestreets. Kralja Petra has all in abundance. And possibly the most interesting clock I have seen in a street for some time...

passage to pašić
My first post for June was inspired by getting lost en route to a meeting earlier last week. Prominent among the hidden joys of belgradestreets are the myriad passageways, alleys and hidden courtyards. Easy to spend hours wandering and exploring. This passage, between Terazije and Trg Nikola Pašić, has the lot, oh and a gratuitous … Continue reading passage to pašić
kosovke devojke
A final set of images from my contemplative weekend walk around the parks in the centre of Belgrade. Across the street from the fountains of Андрићев Венац, another small park composed of a few terraced areas shaded by trees. Along the side, steps run down past faded buildings. Graffiti once more adorns the walls. We … Continue reading kosovke devojke
возови и графити
Graffiti is a hallmark of belgradestreets. Not just the streets, sometimes it seems that any vertical surface is pressed into service as a canvas to express someone's ideas. I captured these images during my visit to the station on Saturday. I feel they deserve a post of their own, I hope you agree. The messages … Continue reading возови и графити
love, lost, trafficking and art, more graffiti
Graffiti adorns streetscapes across the world. Graffiti on belgradestreets is an exemplar of the art. Art for art's sake. Images with colour, imagination and fantasy to brighten a dull day. Graffiti on graffiti. Using the message to convey the message. Humour. Promoting pop culture. Is Kate really still lost? Must get round to watching that … Continue reading love, lost, trafficking and art, more graffiti
fruškogorska
An extra post of images captured after my walk along Braće Krsmanović. Fruškogorska lies at the top of the steps which lead up from Karadjordjeva, alongside Brankov Most, and connects by another flight of ancient steps to kосанчићев венац, all of which have been feature on my blog. The street is lined with cobbles and … Continue reading fruškogorska

tašmajdan unseen
This is my third set of images, captured this weekend in Tašmajdan Park. Perhaps not the most conventional views. There are plenty of those I feel? These images capture a side of belgradestreets that will one day disappear. It may not be the most attractive, yet the street art tells its own visceral, powerful, moving … Continue reading tašmajdan unseen
cимина
this week, cимина, in dorcol, a street full of contrast, beautiful old buildings and some stark modernistic edifices this week all covered in snow...icicles hanging like the sword of Damocles from every edge... another street well worth visiting...
