when I first arrived in Belgrade on the evening of 31 January 2011, the city was covered in a blanket of snow, ice and freezing fog... so far this Winter the weather has been comparably balmy...indeed on Monday, it felt like Spring... all that changed this morning when the city once again woke under a … Continue reading snow…снег…

bulevar vojvode mišića
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.
