Serbia

Local drinking fountain. Bill a friend on the trip had to try it out. I would say it had to be the largest drinking fountain I have seen in my travels around the world.

Local art anyone?

Cool looking outdoor restaurant with umbrellas inverted upside down for shade.

Reflections on the Danube River from our river boat Concerto.

In Europe the bridges are lighted in the evening. Spectacular for photography.

Novi Sad is a city in northern Serbia on the banks of the Danube River. Standing atop a riverside bluff, much of Petrovaradin Fortress dates to the 17th and 18th centuries, with an iconic clock tower and a network of tunnels. Across the river is the old quarter, Stari Grad, site of the Gothic Revival Name of Mary Church and the neo-Renaissance City Hall.

The blue and white river ship is the Concerto in the middle of the 3 ships we are sailing on.

Stari Grad is an urban neighborhood of the city of Novi Sad, Serbia. It is the main part of Novi Sad, and it is also known as City Center. In the Serbian language, the name "Stari Grad" means "Old Town"

Novi Sad translates to New Garden a town nestled along a bend in the Danube River. There are numerous historical and cultural monumments, parks and bustling squares thriving with pedestrian zones. Also the fortress in the previous photo standing tall along the Danube River.

Art work on the side of Soviet era apartment buildings.

English graffiti on a bridge along the Danube river.

I tried to find out the name of this tree. It actually almost looked like cotton falling from the tree along the Danube.

The Raid Victims Memorial was built in remembrance of the ’January Raid’ carried out from January 21st to January 23rd 1942 in Novi Sad. During these three days Hungarian fascists executed over a thousand people – Serbs, Jews and Gypsies. In 1971 at this place by the Danube river a 12 foot tall bronze monument called ’The Family’ was put up.

Interestingly a jet plane races across the sky at the exact moment the photo was taken balancing a cone trail on the head of the right bronze figure.

In 1992 78 bronze plates which were added to the memorial. Four of the plates tell the story of this tragical event in Serbian and Hebrew, and the other 66 plates hold the names of the victims. The memorial is designated as a cultural heritage site of great importance.

Pre school children walk along the Danube with their teachers enjoying the day.

Local park and a statue are very restful.
