Someone was granted poetic licence. A romantic city where the Danube meets and mingles with the Sava. Belgrade translates as the "White City".
Beige is the new white? Or maybe it is my bad for shunning the usual tourist sites and following my lens. Did I enjoy what I saw? damn right I did.
Does the city still cling on to the past, of Yugoslavia?
1934, formerly Theatre Square
Now known as Republic Square. The Balkans have been a place of tension and conflict as recently as the Kosova war of 1998. With the break up of Yugoslavia, separate independent states were formed. We are now in Serbia.
A lot of new construction taking place around the city
But still some lovely brutalist Socialist structures.
The back streets of the city centre
With an oasis of colour.
Street Life
St. Michaels Cathedral, and a tram
Built in the early part of the 19th CE the Serbian Orthodox cathedral is very ornate and photogenic....
....as is this tram
"So that's it, ? You didn't take many snaps"
"Yes I did"
"So where are they"
"Patience my dear friend in my head, patience, there will be a series of uploads of beautiful Belgrade coming soon to the StreetArt community, the place where beauty lives"

Amazing old architecture, must say some of the building look quite tired, perhaps facelift required to bring them back to white.
Old vs new photography interesting, not much change, tram system still works always great way to move around cities.
Where is the money, well in the church, as rich in photography as wealth.

The church is rich yet their people are poor, hmm the bishops feast the poor starve. Don’t get me started on that debate!!!
No debate just the truth !LOLZ

I guess like all cities new construction is needed as it grows, but personally i love the details and style of the older buildings myself
Thanks for joining the Wednesday, its always fun for me to visit the walks from all around the world, getting a feel for communities where people live and what they see on their daily walks
