My contribution to this week's WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge. The theme this week "surprise". This photo appeared in my last regular post. Sometimes beauty can surprise us. 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

christmas comes to belgradestreets
It is not Christmas Day this week on belgradestreets. At least not officially, Christmas comes to Serbia on 7 January, after New Year. Which for an expat living in town is quiet special because one gets two Christmas days to celebrate. Christmas has always been a special time for me. The long gone days when, … Continue reading christmas comes to belgradestreets

Čavketov pasaž
belgradestreets are full of surprises and joy. Tucked away between streets, behind gates, mystery and beauty await those who are prepared to find, those who have a guide to show. Čavketov pasaž would be ignored by most, not even found my most. It rewards examination. My first feelings on arriving on belgradestreets were not positive, … Continue reading Čavketov pasaž

the world didn’t end
All those people who travelled today to far-flung places to seek the protection of aliens from the long foreshadowed end of the world went to the wrong place. Here on Knez Mihaila we have our very own pyramid. I arrived early this morning to capture the crowds waiting for the apocalypse and the appearance of … Continue reading the world didn’t end

Road to nowhere, by Nemanja Jovanović
I've been very busy this last week... Hope to get some posts out soon, alleyways and graffiti for Christmas perhaps. For now, please check out this great post from Nemanja Jovanović, one of six great documentary photographers who make up Belgrade's Kamerades photo collective. Gritty, powerful and challenging work.

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…

festival nauke 6.0
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

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections
Reflections. Is what we see in the mirror real? Or is the world on the other side of the mirror real, the one looking back at us and wondering? Is the image in the mirror distorted, or is our world twisted? Reflection or reality? Time to reflect on belgradestreets. My contribution to this week's Weekly … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections

winter approaches
Snow will soon return to belgradestreets. A final post for November. Scenes from one of my favourite spots on belgradestreets. The street crossing that leads from Kalemegdan through Knez Mihaila to the very heart of the city. The pavement tables are (mostly) tucked away now for the winter. Today the warm weather feels as if … Continue reading winter approaches

Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful
Graffiti is common on belgradestreets. I don't know what the artist had in mind on this occasion. The words made me pause for thought. A post dedicated to all those across the world who refuse to "turn back or die" and instead face the consequences. To all those for whom "turn back or die" is … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful
