Lightning crackled in the sky. Thunder rolled across the corrugated roofing. Rain streamed down the tramlines. Oncoming lights pierced the gathering gloom. "Don't let me down" he said... This is my response to the "Phoneography challenge: My neighbourhood" from The Daily Post at WordPress.

Graffiti provokes a response. Emotional. Visceral. Basic. A cry. These belgradestreets; the people who live, love and work here, provoke me. Graffiti enrages, captures, beguiles us. I'd like to share a line of poetry, and a heartfelt thank you... "For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are still just able to … Continue reading angels and demons

Weekly Photo Challenge: Forward
Forward. Progress. Reflect on what matters. One step forward, two back? Sometimes, to move forward, we need to look back, reflect, think about what really matters.

Grids, lines, patterns, symbolism. Symmetry. Asymmetry. Lone man steps out. Open bins. Closed shutters. Circular balconies. Private boxes for the Kalemegdan show? Sorrowful eyes behind mosaic bars. Windows to the soul. Dvojka, chariot of the gods. These are belgradestreets.

Bohemians and writers lived here. Their spirit lives on. Restaurants now dominate the street. Today, a cold day in mid winter, few came out to play. The street is alive with the past. Alive with the hopes of the future. Poets, writers, politicians, lovers. Where are you now? Will you come back to belgradestreets?

in the blink of an eye
How much do we miss as we walk along the streets? Eyes down on the floor. Worried about that next meeting. The stress and strain of our lives. Sometimes it just pays to open our eyes. Stop, pause, look...and wonder. This image snatched on my iPhone as I hopped off a bus at Studentski Trg … Continue reading in the blink of an eye

Sacred and profane. God and Mammon. New and old. Hope and despair. Which way will this city and its people choose?
