As usual it's been quite a while since I've posted in this thread. I decided to take a look at Belgrade, Serbia.
First off some pics of the CBD:
Some residential:
Nice building on the right:
But the security cameras and gates make me wonder.
I thought Bob Dole ran for President in '96
A little bit of grit:
Found a huge cemetery in a residential area:
One of the many entrances (not the flower stands)
I couldn't figure out what the thing was over the gates?
The two biggest football (soccer) clubs in Serbia, and bitter rivals; Red Star and Partizan
A great old train station. The first pic is from 2013
Then a few yards away the pic changed to 2014
I was curious about the big billboard in front:
I checked out the site listed, and WOW.....impressive:

Sadly the train station is going:

Not everyone is happy about the new waterfront:

Here is the area (note the train sheds toward the bottom right):
Hope you enjoyed.
