la casa in lotta
As I made my way home this evening, feeling tired and blue after a hard Monday, and not adapting well to the darker evenings, cold nor the rain....I found myself transported into 1960s Italy... I have a view that almost anything can happen on belgradestreets. Today, I found myself on the set of a movie, … Continue reading la casa in lotta

bulevar milutina milankovića
Continuing my weekend 'Novi Beograd" theme here are just four images which I hope capture the feel of the long wide, windswept 'bulevar's of Novi Beograd. Exciting new future, modern, full of hope and the desire to grow. Or an experiment in urban planning, which commenced in 1948? Has it worked? I will explore my … Continue reading bulevar milutina milankovića

terazije?
This weekend, I had another encounter with a security guard. On this occasion he was friendly and welcoming. I took the tram across to Novi Beograd as I had decided that it was about time for a post from that part of town. It was cold and wet, dark clouds scudding across the sky, leaves … Continue reading terazije?

skender begova
After a few rather random and rambling posts, here are some images of a new street, new to me at least. Recommended by a former resident, I must confess I found this shoot challenging. Tucked away in Dorcol, skender begova seems to encapsulate so much of what belgradestreets have been saying to me, faded glory, … Continue reading skender begova

abstract
I know I have strayed from the path recently. My posts have perhaps become a little self-indulgent, random, and a little less focused than my original plan for belgradestreets. That plan being one street per week, but hey, if I had stuck to that plan it may not have been such an interesting journey. So, … Continue reading abstract

people are strange
Anyone who has followed my twitter feed will know that I am a big fan of "The Doors". I love this track "People are strange", which, given that I have lived in many cities in which I have been, at least initially, a stranger, has resonance. "People are strange when you're a stranger Faces look … Continue reading people are strange

cleaning up the streets
This post is rubbish. It is also in stark contrast to my last few colourful posts. But with no apology. For the images in this post bring good news. Prompted by an exhibition in the centre of the city last weekend focused on the need to recycle our rubbish. Anyone familiar with belgradestreets will also … Continue reading cleaning up the streets
